ABOUT US
Exploding Comics is a website that publishes weekly strips about the daily life of a couple that graduatead, moved abroad, lived there for a couple of years and came back to their home country. The team is formed by Amanda, who is an illustrator and Frank, who is a writer and provider of food. The story of the comic is loosely based on the story f the couple, who actually moved abroad to graduate on their second College courses. They are both designers who went to different areas and currently live in Brazil.
Amanda got a college degree in ilustration at Ballyfermot College of Further Education, during the years where she specialized in comics and learned how to professionalize her artistic work. She loves teaching, Netflix and beer.
Frank is a History major, who loves reading and studying. He is a writer and a teacher and plans to spend the rest of his life buying books. He loves Ireland almost as much as he loves History and his years there were really special.
The team has came back to Brazil, and lives in an amazing city called Curitiba, but continues to publish projects in Ireland, along with the writer Hugo Boylan and the letterer Kerrie Smith.

Hi! Thank you for reading them!
I wish I could publish everyday, but so far I have earned the total amount of €10 with the website along 1 year of publishing, so unfortunately I must work on things that pay for my food now-a-days instead dedicating myself only to Exploding Comics.
But I believe the day will come where I will be able to say that I can survive with only the website and then I will most certainly publish everyday!
Hola, quería saber si tus comics también están en español.
Unfortunately, they are not. :/
Thank you for the perform. Post helped me a great deal
You could certainly see your enthusiasm within the work you write.
I absolutely love your comic! I can relate so much I’ve shared loads of your pages to friends on facebook. Can’t wait for more!!

This is the kind of comment that makes me wanna keep on writing no matter how many nights awake I spend. Thank you so much for coming here and even more for these kind words.
hello Amanda.
I’m from Brazil and My name is Luis Hunzecher and i found your comics browsing in 9gag. I found them spetacular, amazing, stuning. After reading the first i started reading another, and another, in a endless cycle.
I want to propose something for you, i have a digital magazine called Any Magazine, a digital magazine that talks about geek otaku and pop stuff. I’m searching for a group of comic creators to publish in the magazine, to have a sector dedicated for comics in it. I would like to have your comics in the magazine, if you acept, i would start publishing it on the magazine issues and i personaly would translate the comics to portuguese(and could also send them to you if you wish).
I hope you accept and keep in touch, your work is amazing and it’s a talent that needs to shine. the magazine have something about 4k views month and its growing fast. Hope to have you in the team.
if you want to read them, follow the link.

Thanks and best regards
Hello, Luis.
I am from Brazil as well! What a coincidence, right?
Listen, I am so glad to hear from you, this is precisely the kind of partnership that I am looking for. As long as you keep the link to my own website and to my facebook fanpage, I’m all for it.
The only thing that I would ask is that you’d use my own portuguese version of the comics.
Please, write me on amanda@explodingcomics.com and we can chat a bit more about it!
Thanks a million
Oi Amanda! Você recomenda ler as tiras em inglês ou português primeiro?
Eu sugiro ler em inglês. São os originais, e tem todinhos aqui no site. Em português tem apenas alguns na página do Facebook.
Congratulations from Spain! I don’t know how I discovered your web but I love it!! And I have to say that only one comic for week leaves me wanting but… what good is worth waiting!! I’m so sorry for my poor English, don’t you want to learn spanish? I could teach you! ^__^ My best wishes, Sara
boa tarde, Amanda.
meu nome é Joel – estudo jornalismo no Bom Jesus IELUSC, Joinville.
estou fazendo uma matéria sobre quadrinhos – quem me indicou você foi o Paulo Kielwagem.
o que eu preciso é o seguinte: um comentário acerca dos quadrinhos no exterior (público alvo; quem lê; vendas; diferença entre os quadrinhos brasileiros e estrangeiros; e algo mais que você julgar relevante – tudo isso sob a ótica de um quadrinista).
a resposta pode ser enviada até amanhã, quinta-feira, 12/12, no início da tarde.
se você puder me ajudar, agradeço; caso não posso, entenderei.
obrigado.
Love it, Amanda! Keep it up! 🙂
Orgulho de mamy
