DEATH of COPRA

DEATH of COPRA is a four issue mini-series coming out January 8th from Image Comics. This all-new material is the direct continuation of where the last 45 issues left off.
(aka Legacy Numbers 46-49)

The story of COPRA is one of duality: brutal but tender, bombast as defined by human nuance, crafted with a love of comics history while guided by an eye towards the future.

We’re going out, thus, with celebration and revenge in our hearts.

COCONUT MEAT SKULL
a COPRA Fanzine

Nine essays + eleven artists + a new interview & cover by me = COCONUT MEAT SKULL. Now on sale from Wakeup Comics (Plus stickers!) This 92 page Copra Fanzine was amassed & edited by Josh Lambert — I am in awe of his generosity, patience, and vision. And a big thanks to this murderers’ row of contributors.

I’m super flattered by this COPRA fanzine. What a sweet, humbling, surreal thing to witness. I’m touched by every word, every line of art. What a gesture.

Get in touch with Josh / Wakeup Comics if you want a copy!

CREATING COPRA

CREATING COPRA, Michel Fiffe’s Definitive DIY Guide to Making and Self-Publishing Comics is here!

This 64 page guide is a step-by-step tour of Studio Copra, a personal in-depth account that covers everything from filling up a blank page to managing a small business: writing, penciling, inking, lettering, coloring, packaging, distributing, selling, cultivating relationships, building a catalogue, and putting artistic muscles to the test.

Copra Press has steadily worked with printers and retailers for over a decade to reach a global audience, self-publishing COPRA merch, zines, and over fifty comic books.

This first time collection of updated HOW TO editorials from Fiffe’s Patreon is packed with full-color examples, a brand new massive chapter detailing his latest challenges and strategies, plus illustrations exclusive to this edition.

CREATING COPRA is an invaluable tool for the modern cartoonist. It marries the practical with the idealistic, dissecting the creative process while demystifying the hurdles that are part of comics-making in today’s world.

This project wouldn’t exist without the immense support from the Koyama Provides Grant. Annie Koyama has been a publisher, a patron, and an all-around positive force in the world of comics and beyond, making this grant a profound honor.

COPRA 10th Year Anniversary

Ten years ago today, COPRA No. 1 went on sale. Sold around a dozen copies that afternoon, a few more in a local convention that weekend, and I had a handful of shops willing to stock the title. Been building ever since.

A print run of 400 for a monthly 24 page full-color action comic produced and shipped from my apartment. It changed my life.

Thanks to everybody who’s been on board and backed me up every step of the way. Here’s to ten more years and beyond.
