I shall continue to go on about this, as it tickles me no end that my flapdoodle has been acquired by the Tate

It's 47 years to the day since #CPFC went top of the league and Mum danced round our garden in celebration. It's a scene recounted at the start of our #zine, Glad All Over - which is yours for £5 at bit.ly/gladalloverzine. £1 from every copy goes to St Christopher's hospice in memory of Mum ❤️💙

Colossive Press @colossive.com · 26/09/2026

We’re all set up at the Anarchist Bookfair: it’s taking place across a number of venues - we’re downstairs at Oxford House in Bethnal Green (E2 6HG). Come and join us!

We've just made our latest donation - £10 - to cancer support charity Maggie's Cambridge from sales of these #zines by @vjs411.bsky.social and @implausible17.bsky.social No doubt you've already bought all three of them. But if you haven't, you can put that right IMMEDIATELY at bit.ly/welovemaggies

Blimey - this has crept up on us… We’ll be heading up to Kendal for @comicartfestival.bsky.social next week - and sincerely hope you will too. (Pics from last time we were in the Lakes in 2023) #licaf #comics #zines

Happy #TelegraphPoleAppreciationDay to all those who celebrate. (And no, we're not making this up. Honestly!) To mark the occasion, here's a poem by #Penge artist-in-residence Cosmo Chancer, as featured in his latest #zine, A Year in Penge - which is yours for £3 at bit.ly/yearinpenge

A splendid magazine that also includes, unexpectedly, a review of my Croydon Spaceport solo journaling game (which I never anticipated anyone even trying to play, never mind apply critical thought to)

Colossive Press @colossive.com · 17/09/2026

I don’t know what the hell we were thinking on National Potato Day this year but we somehow neglected to post Cosmo Chancer’s poem on the topic. 🫢 Cosmo’s rightly furious - but you can cheer him up by buying his #zines at colossive.com/product-tag/...

Wrighty! Wilf! Ebs! You know, we still can't believe we managed to persuade reclusive genius Tracey Pitcher to do all the illustrations for our latest #CPFC zine... Player Out! - a little #zine about 10 notable exits from the club - is yours for just £3 at colossive.com

Our invitation was obviously lost in the post 😾 It *does* sometimes seem there's some sort of conspiracy to pretend Croydon Spaceport never existed. There's lots we could have shared

After Saturday's triumphant #Pengefest, we've just made our latest donation to St Christopher's hospice from sales of our books and #zines - £222, bringing our running total up to a whopping £5,851.36. Colossive thanks to everyone for your support! Check out our St C's titles at bit.ly/ourhospice

All set up and ready to rhumble at #Pengefest - come on down to #Penge high street for beer, food, music, stalls and a man dressed as a sausage… It’s all to raise money for #StChristophersHospice - and we’re here until 5… 🌭🍻🎵❤️

TOMORROW! PENGE! Be there. Or be somewhere else. But if you’re somewhere else, you’ll regret it…

NEXT UP! Saturday afternoon sees the triumphant return of #Pengefest to #Penge High Street. There'll be beer, food, stalls, live music and people in lederhosen. It's all in aid of St Christopher's hospice - and we'll be there, selling our books and #zines, too... See you all there!

Poor Tracey Pitcher. She was up all night drawing an uncanny likeness of Ismaila Sarr to add to our #CPFC notable exits #zine - but it turns out he’s still a Palace player. Whether he likes it or not… Grab Player Out! for £3 at colossive.com

Indulge me in a small brag: while I was having a breather out the back of the (always splendid) PageMasters Zine Fair at the weekend, this woman came out with her mate and started reading enthusiastically from my now legendary Croydon Spaceport: Historial Map and Guide colossive.com/product/croy...

Update! The great Tracey Pitcher has been working very hard on the illustrations for our #zine about notable #CPFC player departures. It should be out in time for Transfer Deadline Day - which means NOBODY else is allowed to leave between now and then. 🦅❤️💙 (Got that, #IsmailaSarr?)

I can't stress enough the importance of making shitty things. Shitty writing. Shitty art. Shitty paintings. Shitty films. Shitty songs. Shitty sculptures. Shitty is beautiful, because it's human. There's no glory without shitty. Get out there and shit things up.

See these books and #zines? We're very proud of them all BUT we only have a few copies of each left and because storage space is limited in our already-held-up-by-books house, we won't be getting them reprinted. Want to grab one before they're gone? Head to colossive.com/product-tag/nearly-gone/
