Brampton Indie Comics & Zines (BICZ)
Brampton Indie Comics & Zines (BICZ) is a Brampton collective that celebrates local indie comics, zines, and art. BICZ believes in accessible and DIY self-publishing, hands-on creation, and collaboration, all of which are more necessary than ever in the current landscape of economic and social uncertainty, AI, and isolation. By providing a fun and safe space to learn, create, and collaborate with one another, BICZ hopes to foster Brampton’s indie comics and zines community.
