Exhibit enhanced immensely by personal manga recollections from my dear friend Frederik Schodt serving asl tour guide haha ❤️❤️❤️

Holy crap this is a crazy game

Pages and Rojas wtf

All played in that space and tried to foster new voices... Peow and Koyama obviously were doing that work at a very high level

Frontier came about exactly to serve that length, a home for short stories etc

Koyamacore makes some sense for this space / format / sensibility in terms of foundational press that went after floppies and that length of book... but that still seems to only capture a swatch of what was happening in early 2000s

Oily Comics, Sparkplug, Adhouse, us, retrofit, bodega, and more

There's been a deficit of venues for small and medium length comics for a long time... The anthology magazines that gave "short stories" a venue for testing the waters and developing new voices dried up right after the alt weeklies, etc

Good lord hahahah

@arpadokay.bsky.social it might be the depression but this is so beautiful it literally made me gasp

This one feels perfect for our family and my daughter - we just watched the Rulette episode of Game Changer and she was howling

Thanks for the rec, just watched the how to video and ordered!

This should not be allowed wtf

I'm shocked!! So sorry to hear this, what terrible news :(
