What is this?
The Nib & Ink Festival ( or NIF ) is a brand new online-only comics festival that was first held from May 1st to 31st of 2025 proudly presented to you by the Cartoonist Cooperative. NIF 2025 had custom store for exhibitors to sell digital comics, free curated webcomic samplers, streamed panels every weekend throughout the month, and more! Our goal was to create an unique space highlighting independent comics from all areas of our world-wide industry, where creators and fans alike could find new comics to read, learn more about the medium they love, and connect with like-minded individuals.
While NIF 2025 may be over, we can’t wait to bring you an even bigger and better festival when Nib & Ink Fest returns in May 2026.
Until we see you then, please feel free to enjoy free replays of all the NIF events on the Cartoonist Cooperative’s YouTube Channel.
BY CARTOONISTS, FOR THE PEOPLE
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 helping build the festival, we encourage you to join!
