Steve received an interesting email this week:
Can you tell me if the following comic is still in production and if so is it web based or hardcopy.
If it is hardcopy then it will need depositing at the British Library under the Legal Deposit Act.
Full details can be found on our website at http://www.bl.uk/about/policies/legaldeposit.html .
Walking Wounded - The Resistance That Went Mad (comic)
I wasn't sure previously if we were big enough to bother about the British Library, but clearly it seems that we are. Copies of WW0 and WW1 are now sitting in an envelope and ready to go.
Any other small pressers out there should be aware that legally you need to send the BL a copy of your work within a month of publication. Hopefully the punishment for not doing so is mild as WW0 has been out for rather more than 31 days!
Still, looking forward to finding out what academics in a hundred years will make of our work. From the spectral plain, obviously.
Hmm, i had heard about this, but i thought it was voluntary, and that you had to give them 5 copies (for places around the country, ie London, Edinburgh, Cardiff etc). Also that doing that then gave you an ISBN number and all the legal crap that goes with that (not least that the number would then have to go in each copy XD). But that page makes it sound a lot simpler, so i better send them a Scum Slaughter eventually XD
