90s Mini-Comics Oral History Archives
by 90s Mini Comics Oral Histories
In the decade before the internet, people made comics, and reached out to each other. They shared, they liked and loved. They connected through the mail, and through meet-ups and festivals. This project aims to collect the stories of ANYONE who made self-published mini-comics in the roughly 10 years before the broad acceptance of the internet (the 90’s, give or take.)These audio/video archives will exist at the University of Florida’s Digital Repository as well as the Sequential Artists Workshop’s Youtube channel and podcast links.
