The Filigree – Martin Øbakke and Celena Cavala create this fabulous fairy newspaper complete with advertisements, classifieds, and photographs. And, as far as I can tell, all the photographs for the stories are of characters they have created in doll form. Do I have to say this is a fabulous idea? and it is fabulously pulled off.
Stone Monkey and Red Planet Ride by Jim Round – These are plane old adorable, and polished and full of color. The environments created within are amazing.
Ghosts of Pineville from CricketPress – I never lived in a place with a haunted house or a ghost story, but I’ve read a lot of books and watched a lot of movies set in towns that did. It’s kind of like the quintessential American mystery and that is probably why the Ghosts of Pineville felt so nostalgic. This is good stuff. Good stuff.
All of Them Witches by Patt Kelley – Tiny short stories and vignettes with a surreal fluid and pointy style.
Grickle things The Hidden – wait…NOT an Etsy purchase, but I must include it in the haul because it’s fabulous and was part of the same shopping spree. Sorry Etsy. This is an adorable story by Graham Annable.
Flesh and Bone – Julia Gfrörer put together this beautiful, painful lump of bound paper and story. Her details and the plethora of line and movement only emphasize a fantastical and tragic story.

Thank you! I am trying to keep a regular posting schedule. I’m glad you like.
This is very cool! I had no idea that you could get comics on Etsy. I must say I’m glad to see you appear so much in my reader lately.
