Pixies & Sprites

Comic, Graphic Novel & Manga Art

Made from the genuine pages of vintage comics, graphic novels and manga — bright, nostalgic material folded into three-dimensional origami squares, triangles, hexagons and tiles. Panels, colours and lettering remain visible within the folds, giving each piece a distinctive, collectable feel that appeals to comic fans and collectors alike.

Beano, Dandy & other Comics

We work extensively with Beano comics (and other classic British titles like the Dandy and Beezer), sourced across several different decades — from the 1980s and 1990s through to the 2000s, as single issues or complete annuals. These pieces range widely in size and format: smaller A4 tiles made from a couple of issues, larger box-framed pieces built from ten or more comics, and specialist shapes like hexagons and multi-module tiles made from full annuals. Decades of back issues have ended up stored in attics and boxes across the UK, which is where much of our material comes from — so stock varies by era, format and condition, and exact colours, characters and panel selection will differ between pieces. Get in touch if you are looking for a particular decade or format.

Adventure and Sci-Fi Comics

This collection celebrates classic British adventure and science-fiction serials rather than the superhero tradition — space pilots, secret missions and cult favourites like Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet and Doctor Who, alongside other adventure annuals we source over time. Every piece uses a genuine vintage comic or annual, never a reprint, so exact artwork and panels vary between pieces depending on what has been sourced.

UK and US Superhero Comics

Our superhero comic pieces are made from genuine vintage comics — never reprints or reproductions — featuring characters from across the superhero genre, including Marvel titles starring Iron Man and the Punisher, and DC icons like Batman and Superman. Many of these characters were published in both American and British print editions over the decades, and our source material reflects that range. Because each piece is folded from a real, limited-run comic, exact panels, colours and character artwork vary between pieces, and stock is entirely dependent on what we are able to source. Our superhero comic pieces are made entirely from genuine vintage issues, spanning the 1970s through to the 2000s.

Frequently asked questions

Are these made from real vintage comics?
Yes — every piece uses pages from genuine vintage comics, annuals or manga, never reprints or photocopies. Each piece is therefore unique.
Will I get the exact panels shown in the photos?
Photos are provided as examples. Because each piece is handmade from limited original material, the exact panels, colours and characters visible within the folds will vary between pieces.
Can you make a piece from a specific title or decade?
Often, yes. We regularly source new material and hold back issues across several decades. Get in touch with what you are looking for and we will let you know what we can find.
Do you work with manga as well as Western comics?
Yes — we have worked with manga titles alongside classic British and American comics. Stock varies, so get in touch if you have something specific in mind.
