Phoenix Masters

Phoenix Masters is a comics and zine project from Phoenix Productions that shines a spotlight on the people who have made independent comics such a fun and creative world.

Inspired by classic fan publications and small press comics, Phoenix Masters collects and reissues the work of longtime small press cartoonists and creators. In spotlighting these legendary creators, Phoenix Masters is about keeping the energy, creativity, and spirit of comics fandom alive.

Our Phoenix Masters:


Steve Willis

Willis packs his cartoons with an ever-expanding universe of characters (like Morty the Dog!), sharp humor, and old-school comic charm, creating funny, energetic and surreal stories that feel like classic newspaper strips fueled by pure cartooning joy.


Daryl & Joe Hutchinson

The brothers create cartoons bursting with goofy humor, wild imagination, and frantic comic energy, blending playful storytelling with artwork that feels equal parts Saturday morning fun and fandom celebration.


Edward Bolman

Edward Bolman’s cartoons mix quirky humor, expressive characters, and a fearless indie spirit, delivering comics that feel wonderfully offbeat, inventive, and straight from the heart of underground cartooning.
