8.5" × 11" • FREE TO COPY • FREE TO TRADE • FREE TO SELL
The Cranial Core ““Xerox” Edition was created for underground markets where importing professionally printed comics is expensive, difficult, or simply unrealistic.
This is a stripped-down 8.5" × 11" copy-machine master designed to be printed locally, stapled together, traded, handed out, or sold within the local scene.
It is intended for independent sellers, street vendors, comic traders, punk and metal distros, record shops, zine fairs, flea markets, underground conventions, and DIY scenes in Latin America, South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Eastern Europe, and other markets where access to imported independent comics may be limited.
There is no licensing fee and no royalty owed to Cranial Core Comics.
If you're reproducing these books locally, keep what you make.
Print 10 copies and sell them. Trade them for another comic. Put them on a distro table. Give them away. Run them through an old photocopier at the record store. That's what this edition exists for.
The only rules are simple: don't alter the story or artwork, don't claim ownership of it, and don't turn it into a mass-produced commercial edition.
This isn't a collectible edition.
It isn't an export edition.
It's the Copy Machine Edition.
Stories from the underground should be able to reach the underground.
CREATORS
Written & Created by Phil Swanson
Writer, musician, and founder of Cranial Core Comics. The Missing Girl began as a story inspired by themes and imagery from Swanson’s music and underground horror influences.
Illustrated by Geoffrey Krawczyk
Artwork and visual interpretation by comic artist Geoffrey Krawczyk, bringing the dark world and characters of The Missing Girl to the page.
