marc makes comics

Some recent fun from school visits and clubs!

A couple of panels from two comics I worked on today. On the left the long awaited return of GAME OVER GANG, on the right ADVENTURE part 38! Make comics MONDAY!!

Drawing a new comic today for my occasional collaborator Shayne Buckley! We do a lot of MAD mag inspired comics!

@comicprintinguk.bsky.social Hey man - just an email nudge…

Brad and I are celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary today, September 14, 2026, in New York City. Brad and I were married on Sept 14, 2008, at the Democracy Forum of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.

@comicprintinguk.bsky.social Hey man, dropped you an email :)

Anyone going to SPX this weekend who can go Instagram live with me for the awards?…

This weekend is SPX and GOOF #2 is nominated in the Outstanding Anthology section in the IGNATZ awards!! It would be incredible if we won, a real win for kids comics and it would truly put our lil comic on the map. Consider it if you will!... www.smallpressexpo.com/ignatz-awards/

@comicprintinguk.bsky.social Hey, man! I’ve dropped you a few emails about some comics - can you drop me a line back when you can? Thank you!

Another brilliant session with @marcmakescomics.bsky.social

Join us for this crazy-fun comics and cartoon art workshop on the 25th of August with Marc Jackson (THE BEANO, PHOENIX, and GOOF COMIC). More details and tickets can be found on the events page of our website.  @marcmakescomics.bsky.social

Half way through HE-MAN and loving it! It just arrived on Prime today, super quick straight to free streaming, I have no idea why it wasn’t a hit. It’s damn good FUN!!!

I’ve created comics for BEANO, The Phoenix, newspapers in NYC, I’ve met and drawn with my heroes like @lewstringer.bsky.social and Sergio Aragonés, I run a festival and comics studio with my wife, and I’ve made friends with so many cartoonists. You know what, I’m doing alright! Thank you x

It’s my birthday, so buy a comic and get FREE STICKERS!!… marcmakescomics.co.uk

I've done a page for the third issue of GOOF, the all new humour comics for all ages. You can order a copy directly from the publisher @marcmakescomics.bsky.social (he also drew the cover) at this link: ko-fi.com/marcmakescom...

Macc-Pow was such a delight. Got to meet some idols, catch up with a few friends and just generally geeked out about how awesome comics are for two days solid. If you've not been, put it in your diary for next year. It's like a miniature Thought Bubble for the summer months.

Reading American Elf from @kochalka.bsky.social is a different experience when his family are in your home town for the comics festival you organise…

I just received a lovely email from @marcmakescomics.bsky.social with loads of info on MaccPOW! (which I will be AT in a coupla weeks and very excited!) There's loads of indie places nearby to get food and drinks and LOADS of great comics inside.

It is an enduring regret that I’ve never made it to Macclesfield for Macc-Pow! @marcmakescomics.bsky.social is officially The Hardest Working Man In Comics and he has been a delight to see at other events over the years. Why is The North so far away from Brighton?

June’s Cartoon County (see previous skeet) is scheduled a little earlier in the month than usual so @panelborders.bsky.social can run a Q&A at Macc-Pow! the following weekend. A brilliant festival organised by AcesWeekly.co.uk favourite @marcmakescomics.bsky.social which you really should visit

Fantastic preview and promo from @brokenfrontier.bsky.social Thank you for the support!!

Interview! “A Room Full of Comics People is a True Joy to See!” – Marc Jackson @marcmakescomics.bsky.social on Bringing MACC-POW! to Macclesfield and the Resurgence of Kids Comics in the UK. www.brokenfrontier.com/marc-jackson...

I’m working on a batch of new ADVENTURE GUY strips this week, the action is hotting UP!! Read it in The Village and Red hook star revues, AND Comic shop news!!

I'm looking forward to returning to MACC-POW, Macclesfield's comic art festival on 27th June at Macclesfield Town Hall. Organised by @marcmakescomics.bsky.social Hope to see you all there! #comics

Thinking I need me some more @marcmakescomics.bsky.social covers.

We'll have covers from @brianhaberlin.bsky.social @nirlevie.bsky.social @marcmakescomics.bsky.social @martinmorazzo.bsky.social @urbanbarbarian.bsky.social @theahmedraafat.bsky.social @terrydodsonart.bsky.social and @tomscioli.bsky.social and that's just the ones you can see here!

@lloydmillscomics.bsky.social and I will be back at Macc-Pow! this Summer 🎉 Thanks for having us back again @marcmakescomics.bsky.social

The new issue of GOOF comes out in June. You will LOVE it!! Can’t wait to share who is in this issue!!

I’ve been posting a gag cartoon a day on Instagram, using my newspaper strips from the past 3 years. I’m about 5 away from being all caught up, so I’m going to attempt to draw one each day starting next week. Maybe 2 a day when I can to keep on top of things!

MACC-POW! 2026 EXHIBITOR CALLOUT IS LIVE... maccpow.co.uk/exhibitor-en... APPLY NOW to join us in JUNE!

Best of award lists please always remember to include an all-ages/humour section to choose from. They are the lifeblood of comics, and are incredibly important to the future of comics.

How can I get one of the Tubular Tortoise figures in the UK? Seems only TARGET stock them…

My comics don’t make any best of lists, BUT, I put out roughly three brand new titles a year, I support nearly 12 creators appearing in GOOF, and send a ton of comics to be printed and reprinted over the year by Rich at CPUK. So that’s a best of the year right there. I make comics for my job. I win!

Would Patreon serve me better as an outlet for a new regular strip that I might create? Do you get eyes on you that come because of the platform?

Tooting my own horn Dept. I once created not one but two brand new characters for the BEANO I’m super proud of that!

Christmas Muffin youtu.be/oEZFfEVc95k?...

I’m looking to pick up a regular comic strip job, can’t decide if I should just post it on Patreon and build an audience - but I’d love another print gig - anything out there?

I also have ONE commission slot left - can ship to the US but, boy you’ll have to be quick!

US based folks! Marc's comics are exceptionally great but the last postage date to get them before Christmas is getting awfully close - don't miss out!

If you live in the US and would like some of my comics in time for Christmas get your order in FAST!! Last US post date guaranteed in time is FRIDAY!!

Another excellent session of drawing, jokes & obscure references with @marcmakescomics.bsky.social in Macclesfield.

@ahoycomicmags.bsky.social id love a shot at some TOXIE art for you guys, check out this bootleg tee I made for a friend…

Hey @darkhorse.com I feel you could publish the heck out of this!…

Out today!

You dig Stranger Things?… then get on this, it’s got all those 80s vibez and then some! I was there for it all, first hand! I know this sh!t! ko-fi.com/s/381ed5a8ac
