The Risograph Revolution in Indie Comics

About this book:

In the damp basement of a crumbling East End warehouse, Maya finds a relic that changes everything: a hulking Riso GR 2750, its drums humming with the smell of soy ink and revolution. She only meant to print her stalled noir comic, *Null State*—forty-seven dollars in her account, five years behind her heroes' schedule—but the machine's gritty, alive impression pulls her into a hidden world of two-tone rebels, midnight distributors, and the Guild of the Glitch. From fluorescent pink sabotage to the Soy Ink Alliance, from unregistered fairs to cease-and-desist orders, Maya learns that every misregistration is a fingerprint, every smudge a signature, and the underground isn't a place you find—it's a press you build.

*Risograph Revolution in Indie Comics* is a love letter to the beautiful accident, a thriller wired on stale coffee and static electricity, and a manifesto for anyone who's ever wanted to make something imperfect, unpermissioned, and entirely their own. When the corporate giant comes for the means of reproduction, the only defense is a million copies underground—and the ink-stained march has already begun.
