smoke signal

Smoke Signal is a free all-comics newspaper published by Desert Island. We aim for a mix of established independent artists and up-and-coming unknowns. Copies are available for free at our shop, through the mail, and at a few locations around Brooklyn.

Smoke Signal #1 and #2 are now out of print, but you can now check them out online - please see below. Issue number 3 debuted at the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival on December 5th, and the print edition is still available here.

CONTRIBUTE YOUR WORK! We plan to publish a new issue every three months. If you want to submit work to SS#4, please read this submission information.
