ABOUT US
Inservice is a small press located in the geographical centre of Canada (Winnipeg/winipīhk). We publish limited run graphic novels, anthologies, comics, and zines with a focus on queer and disabled creators. Founded in 2022 by Winnipeg’s favourite visual artist (Uniter readers poll 2024) Nicholas Friesen, Inservice has released three anthologies featuring creators from around the globe, a handful of OGNs, and two comic series. Spring 2026 will see the release of Rotem Diamant’s Dancing with the Sheyd, Vivi Partridge’s Vivisect, Dino Caruso’s Underpinnings, Georgia Grieve’s All Stripes, and Jo Higgins’ Roadkill.
