The Nib is a web site, as well as a print magazine, founded ten years ago. The Nib features nonfiction and editorial cartoons created specifically for its site. I have helped support The Nib for a number of years. This summer, the print edition will no longer publish, but if you're interested in seeing what they do, you may do so for free. Here's a copy of an email I received:

The Nib magazines are free to download!

The Nib is wrapping up ten years of publishing and closing down at the end of August. But before we go, we are making all 15 issues of our Eisner and Ignatz award-winning magazine available for anyone to download for free. That’s more than 1,600 pages of comics, including our out of print Secrets, Nature, Food, and Color issues.

Through the month of August, you can download a PDF of any of our issues below and, if you feel like it, kick us a few bucks to help preserve the website. If you prefer print, pick up issues of the magazine from our store.

Donate to preserve The Nib’s archives

The Nib has published more than 6,000 comics over ten years. We are making plans for the longterm preservation of the website to ensure all the work we published remains accessible to the public. This involves ongoing web hosting and regular backend maintenance for years to come.

Can you make a donation? All funds go toward making sure The Nib and the work of our cartoonists can be read and enjoyed for many years to come.
