Hi,
I hope you’re well.
The Comic Scene 2026 award nominations have been announced, and I’m delighted to see several nominations for Blue Fox books and creatives!

Under the Best Crowdfunder / Indie Comic we have three nominations!
One More Year (Writer: Simon Birks, Artist: Pietro, Letterer: Rob Jones)
Shadow Over Innsmouth (Writer: Simon Birks, Artist: RHStewart, Letterer: Lyndon White)
System Error (Writer: Phil Chapman, Artist: Phil Chapman)
Plus, under the Comic Creator of 2025 (Script, Art, Lettering or Colouring) category, our very own Rob Jones is going toe-to-toe with some comic-book titans (not that he isn’t one)!
If we do win an award, it’ll give Blue Fox (and Marielle & I) a massive boost!
Obviously, there are a bunch more fantastic creators, comics and shops to vote for, so head on over and pick your winners!
Speak soon and stay safe,
Simon
