The Nib & Ink Festival ( or NIF ) is a brand new online-only comics festival taking place from May 1st to 31st of 2025. NIF will have a custom store for exhibitors to sell digital comics, print-at-home zines, free curated webcomic samplers, streamed panels every weekend throughout the month, and more! Our goal is to create an unique space highlighting independent comics from all areas of our world-wide industry, where creators and fans alike can find new comics to read, learn more about the medium they love, and connect with like-minded individuals.

The festival is run collectively by many creators in the Cartoonist Cooperative, a member-driven organization working to improve and protect the labor rights of comic industry workers worldwide. If you're interested in exhibiting or participating in building the festival, we encourage you to join. This festival is made by creators, for the people!
