Neil Gibson – TPub Comics

20/09/2023 by

Neil is the editor in chief and CEO of TPub Ltd. Neil never wanted to be a writer, but he just LOVED good comics. As a fan for many years he tried writing one, and to his surprise, people really liked what he wrote. So he published it and his first book went to number one on Amazon Kindle and he quit his job to make comics and never looked back. Neil is entirely self-taught, but he now teaches others how to make comics. He is inspired by stuff that interests him. Neil encourages people who are new to comics or want to learn more about the creation of comics to have a chat with him during Cyprus Comic Con 2019.

TPub is a British comic book publisher and the creators of “Twisted Dark“, “Twisted Light“, “Tabatha“, “Tortured Life“, “Turncoat“, “Theatrics” and “The World of Chub Chub“

Kancer The Crab is the persona taken by Limassol-based graphic designer, Michael ‘Yukis’ that embodies the struggle of the fearless crab. The Crab forges small self-contained story posters inspired directly by early 90’s-2000’s video games that build up his own bigger mythos. Through the storytelling he seeks to make his own examination of life, expressing relatable emotional struggles, providing commentary for concurrent events or getting wacky with memes. With a decade of experience in Adobe software, The Crab seeks to claw itself in the graphic design space of Cyprus after graduating with a Graphic Communications & Illustration degree and permanently cementing himself as a young, innovative yet sensitive creative. The Crab marches towards the blazing horizon, expanding his online presence while working on a new poster series influenced by spaghetti westerns.
