Scarfff seeks to be an ambassador for comics as a medium by providing an entirely artist run, high quality, consistent publication, free of charge to readers and retailers, that features a diverse range of creators, styles, and perspectives.
Scarfff started when some frustrated cartoonists from Seattle and San Francisco got together and made a newspaper... A COMIX NEWSPAPER. Scarfff lets readers check out work from a range of diverse and inspired cartoonists, illustrators, and other visually creative types who might not otherwise have a venue to display their art. We're a quarterly publication where the content of each issue is created around a different theme. The cover price for Scarfff is FREE, so if you you find it in the wild IT'S ALL YOURS, BABY!
Join the Scarfff Patreon to subscribe and get every issue of Scarfff mailed to your door, along with bonus comics, zines, and stickers - all while chipping in towards the cost of printing and shipping these rad comics all over the globe!
