The Jigsaw Review – June 2025

Sentinel safely in the bag, so the next couple of months will be dedicated to publishing the first of hopefully many volumes of The Jigsaw Review.

This has been a bit of a dream project for a few years now and I’ve been overwhelmed by the reaction from creators who were truly on the cutting edge of small press comics in the 90s.

John Bagnall, Ed Pinsent, Bob Lynch and Denny Derbyshire were all frequently seen in the pages of Paul Gravett’s ESCAPE magazine, Chris Webster self published MALUS, one of the finest pieces of comic work seen in any sphere in my humble opinion, Dave Metcalfe published his respected anthology SLICES, and Jason Asala’s wonderful series, POE ran for 24 issues from Sirius comics from 1997 to 2000.

It is an honour to be curating this series of both reprint and new work from some of the finest, yet under appreciated creatives in the small press sphere.

Issue 1 will be available at the end of June 2025 and the initial line up includes:

Denny Derbyshire

Ed Pinsent

John Bagnall

Chris Webster

Bob Lynch

Jason Asala

Dave Metcalfe

Simon Russell

Morgan Gleave
