👋 Hey! We're Gytha Cooperative...

Gytha Worker's Cooperative is a democratic indie comics publisher committed to building a better comics industry: one rooted in fair compensation, sustainable working conditions, and a higher quality of life for the people who make the work.

As a workers’ cooperative, we are governed by our employee-members, including both administrators and long-term artists. In a culture that persistently undervalues arts labour—and, increasingly, labour of all kinds—we believe another way of working is not only possible, but necessary.

Our flagship publication, Gytha Quarterly, is produced in a tankobon-inspired format that brings together the immediacy of a magazine with the permanence of a book. We see it as a way to give indie comics a more substantial, shelf-worthy form; one that supports thoughtful presentation, ambitious work, and the connection between artists and readers.

Gytha Cooperative has members in both Toronto and Calgary, Canada, and works with artists from across Canada. Our manufacturing is performed in Calgary.
