Canadian Self Publishers

Here is a list of links to Canadian comic creators who are producing their own comic books & zines.

If you are interested in discovering a new and interesting comic book experience, I’m sure you’ll find it here. Most creators sell their comics directly through their websites. As an inclusive organization the Canadian Comic Book Creators Awards Association support a creators right of expression, the CCBCAA makes no judgment about content.
