| Sumario: | This article centers on Marc Pearson, a Naarm-based cartoonist and co-founder of Glom Press, an independent comics publisher known for its Risograph-printed works. It explores the origins of Glom Press, which began from a shared interest in combining riso printing with comics and evolved through collaborative projects among its four founders. Pearson discusses his creative process, influences, and the unique qualities of comics as a medium for guidance and introspection, particularly in mental health contexts through his work with the digital therapy platform MOST. The article also highlights the role of literary journals, zines, and comics in fostering community and providing platforms for visual artists outside traditional fine art spaces. Finally, it notes Glom Press’s upcoming tenth anniversary and plans to complete ongoing serialized projects with new releases anticipated at the 2026 Other Worlds Zine Fair.
