The History of Antarctic Press

From Antarctic Press

The History of Antarctic Press: 40 Years in Comics We are continuing to celebrate our 40th year of publishing comics! If you're not familiar with us, my name is Joeming Dunn, and I run Antarctic Press, a small, independent comic company started in 1984. I have personally collected comics of almost every type and genre since 1974, and I can say that during the past 40 years, we have published some of the greatest and best independent comics out there. Our publishing history includes titles like Gold Digger and Ninja High School. Since our inception we have had our share of ups and downs, but over the past months, the challenges have increased. Our main distributor, Diamond Comic Distributors, has declared bankruptcy. This has put many smaller publishers, including ourselves, in a bit of a bind, as Diamond ultimately did not pay us for many of the books we had sent them.  Then a new company took them over, and initially, they paid for for items we sent from the time of their takeover.  Before long, however, they also decided to stop payments, leaving us (and other publishers) holding the bag associated with printing and releasing comics.  Despite that, we are celebrating our 40 years of publishing by holding this Antarctic Press Indiegogo campaign that will help us sustain our mission of bringing the best in independent comics into your hands.
