UK Comics Creator Survey 2025
The project is designed to provide the most up-to-date snapshot of who is making comics in the UK today, what obstacles they’re facing and what they need in order to thrive. While building on the findings of the first survey in 2020, the 2025 survey also explores the impact of generative AI, the cost of living crisis and Brexit on the livelihoods of creators. The results will provide valuable insights to ensure comics creators are better supported, included, and advocated for.
Produced in partnership with the Comics Cultural Impact Collective, the Society of Authors and the Association of Illustrators, and generously funded by Arts Council England and Arts University Bournemouth.
689 comics creators completed the survey in Sept-Oct 2025. Many thanks to everyone who took the time to fill it in! The findings are currently being analysed, and the full report will be published in March.
