The LDC Online Comic Fair will close in about a week from July 1st to 31st, 2025. The fair is small, well curated and quite creative. PDFs you buy and keep. These dark and strange books do not represent the bespoke range of reads available at the LDC Fair. But when comics infect your brain, if you like it, I have something for you.
Dream Machine
KY Lawrence
£6.00
The very strange science fiction reminds me of Glacier Bay is too difficult to compare it to a single artist, but because there is a match with the overall atmosphere. Freddie Carrasco Ink Sculpture. Satoshikon, the rest are dare to be very goofy and unrealistic, yet very very dark and rooted in the same comic. He says he’s sorry for causing illness to cyberpunk healthcare twins and then digitally swapping their brains. The place we meet in the middle is terrifying and blown away, hollowed out for a naked teeth that tugs at her bare lips, and a dead voice says no. But when you get there, you’ll find a clear microscopic bubble puppy bus running with the brain tunnel completely tilted. The depiction of twins who imagine medical machines, computer interfaces, and mental connections being physically created. Expressive and unsettling artwork was filled with black people and created monochrome with artistic screen tones. The mother also has a microscopic little blowjob and a stylized animal-human protagonist, but the manga in which Ky Lawrence exists has a lightness. Science is all making up Bonkers nonsense, but logically sounds unless you ask how the head swap works. It works. But the problem is carried out deeper than kind gestures, and the stupid little dog car can fix it. I felt myself pulled by the Dream Machine in two ways, both darkened. Despite the psychedelic way of connecting, the story is very simple. Everything on the page lives on Expressionists who ignore realism, feeling forged and fixed. What really matters is how Lawrence makes you feel. After reading this, I was bustling with awe and tension. I thought I knew a book walking based on its appearance, like almost every comic I read from the LDC Comic Fair, but there was a dimension I didn’t expect.

ABS Bailey

Going into Goblin Mode, it’s just the beginning of this unfortunate adventure as the mold begins to grow in her body. It’s not another cute aesthetic, in contrast to the fear of the body. True corruption lies in the heart. Mother zooms in to microbial levels. There, all the different growths hang out. A tiny mirror of reproduction that is popular, loved, chosen, desperate to be special, a strange self-imposed social structure. A struggle between the mother talking and who doesn’t get weird. Because mom is off: she is growing a growing patch of mold in her body like her child. Inside her heart-shaped eyes, there is an image of the butterfly wings being pulled apart. Psychological fear, emotional abuse instead of biological sights. The stress of one or two decent microorganisms sandwiched between the evil creator and her emotionally paralyzed community of Shikofans. The grandest of the molecules on display in her mother is the world of microorganisms, scientifically accurate equal parts and cartoon balloon art from the 1930s. So it’s time for adventure watching a little man, but against the background of a pattern of colors similar to a Persian carpet. Abs Bailey uses many beautifully constructed images throughout the book to raise bad parents from a dirty apartment hung in the heart of a gorgeous visual motif. Party people who have Abyss rather than the good side, like the clearly planned and freely executed mix of Alabaster Pizzo and Ron Rege Jr. (see also Grayson Bear’s comics). Art that’s more creepy and ridiculous than the Dream Machine. But the story is saturated with dark humor. This approach is cartoons rather than relying on a loose inner logic that justifies whether this happened or something strange happened, but on multiple levels of reality and unrealistic mix of mothers. Bailey runs with that.

LDC originally short for Laydeez Do Comics, but was launched in 2009 by Dr. Nicola Streeten and Sarah Lightman as an initiative highlighting comics based on “The Drama of the Everyday.” LDComics is a community interest company that hosted workshops, monthly guest presentations, festivals and annual awards supporting ongoing graphic novels.

This is the first LDC online comic fair.
Not everything I read from the LDC is anxious. Imagination, yes, in a significantly different way. However, these two cartoons praised each other for their combination of darkness and deadpan stupidity. Both of these are extremely sophisticated manga, as seen by publishers like Decivilization, Koyama and Highwater. The LDC Online Fair is:
