Work experience at Comic Moon

Interested in comics, publishing, art, retail or digital media? Come and see what goes on behind the scenes.

As part of our plans to develop Comic Moon beyond a traditional comic shop, we’re introducing work experience opportunities at our new Staffordshire headquarters.

There’s rather more to running a comic business than reading comics all day, although we’d be lying if we said that wasn’t occasionally part of the job.

With an extensive archive of British and American comics, an expanding online retail operation and our developing publishing imprint, Grazing Press, we can offer an introduction to several aspects of the comic and publishing industries.

What could you explore?

Depending on individual interests, learning objectives and the placement, you could learn about:

  • Comic history & archiving
  • Product photography
  • Digital marketing
  • Online retail
  • Editorial research
  • Print production & publishing

For curious people and future creatives

We’re particularly interested in hearing from schools, colleges and students studying art, media, English, history, business or related subjects. A background in comics isn’t necessary: curiosity, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn matter more.

We welcome enquiries from people of different backgrounds and abilities and are happy to discuss individual accessibility requirements.

A placement with a purpose

Placements will be arranged around our available capacity and supervision, with the aim of providing a useful introduction to working life. Dates, hours, learning activities, supervision and any pay or expenses arrangements will be discussed before a placement is confirmed.

If you represent a school or college, please include your proposed dates, course or year group and placement objectives. Individual enquiries are welcome too.
