Depending on your needs and willingness to DIY some things, you can get that cost down by self-hosting your own Ghost instance on something like Digital Ocean

I've seen "independent" being referred to as anything not Big 2 (guilty myself of it), and I think that's more due to lack of a widely accepted term for "comics not from Big 2 but still backed by large companies," than a genuine comparison/grouping.

If you're looking for something truly independently created and published, give my book a loook!

If you're just looking for something that's rad AF you should also take a look 😎

So, I feel my last message was confusing. So, let's try again. I run a discord group for creators! It has 300 plus members and we use it to build community, get people gigs, and help each other grow.

If you need a community. Hit me up. This is the place to join and grow your craft.

Maru Kiru t-shirt design.  Proposed merch idea for the comic "Maru Kiru Destroy the Moon"

Maru Kiru (a tall and muscular warrior woman with a very large sword) sits atop a large monster than she killed.  Presented from a low angle, looking up at the figure.  Color scheme is similar to greyscale, but instead of grey tones, the pink, blue and white colors of the trans pride flag are used.

Great idea Gail! TERRITORY is a post apocalyptic kaiju epic where people worship the kaiju as gods! Issues 4-5 are drawn by @donnyhadiwidjaja.bsky.social and all issues are colored by Ichsan Ansori, both Indonesian creators!
