Smoke Signal is an Eisner-nominated comics tabloid published by Desert Island in Brooklyn.  For the first ten years, Smoke Signal was a submission-based anthology with multiple artists in each issue, edited by Gabe Fowler with occasional guest editors. Starting with issue thirty in 2018, Smoke Signal has shifted to a series of solo artist issues, which has changed the project significantly. The recent issues feel more like artists’ books in the form of a newspaper, and the featured artists receive an honorarium for their work.
