Marmalade Hour || Archie Sarjeant
“Sarjeant creates abject monstrosities, and lovingly casts them as wayward childhood friends. Their work is a little like eating oranges after brushing one’s teeth, disturbing and sweet.”
-Jillian Fleck, Author of Lake Jehovah (Conundrum Press)
“A.D. Sarjeant’s “Marmalade Hour” is a joyride through trippy, profane vistas populated with organic grotesqueries. Piercingly funny and richly detailed, “Marmalade Hour” is Cronenberg meets manga, birthing bizarre episodes of graphic narrative.”
-Kyle Flemmer (Event Coordinator, Shelf Life Books)
"Marmalade Hour is a mind-expanding spectacle of wonderfully bizarre proportions, narrated with a sensitivity we usually don't associate with bulbous alien pod-people."
-Shea Proulx (Vice President, Panel One Comics Society)
Marmalade Hour is the first published collection of Archie Sarjeant's popular underground comic series by the same name. A kaleidoscopic vision of the strange, the beautiful, and the all-too-familiar, featuring stories about everything from intergalactic fashion police to fishing.

Restless Bones || Shannon Reeves
Winner of the 2020 Broken Pencil Award for Best Comic
Adobe Create Top 10 Zine of 2020
----
"This is a short and sharp psychic unspooling, a perfect short story."
-Michael DeForge
“Shannon Reeves has an uncanny ability to make pages sing, shriek, and whisper. Formally daring, high contrast spreads act as swelling containers for a story that takes place at the murky middle ground where the depths of traumatic pain meet the flickering light beams of healing, and even hope. Printed and bound in splotchy orange and olive editions by Archie Sarjeant and Liz McCord of Calgary’s Gytha Press. This zine exemplifies the unique possibilities enabled by collaborative queer self-publishing in the 21st century.”
— Jonathan Valelly, editor of Broken Pencil Magazine
