Scarfff seeks to be an ambassador for comics as a medium by providing an entirely artist run, high quality, consistent publication, free of charge to readers and retailers, that features a diverse range of creators, styles, and perspectives.
Scarfff started when some frustrated cartoonists from Seattle and San Francisco got together and made a newspaper... A COMIX NEWSPAPER. Scarfff lets readers check out work from a range of diverse and inspired cartoonists, illustrators, and other visually creative types who might not otherwise have a venue to display their art. We're a quarterly publication where the content of each issue is created around a different theme. The cover price for Scarfff is FREE, so if you you find it in the wild IT'S ALL YOURS, BABY!
