You all know that kid, hell, you probably were that kid. You spent time in the manga section of Barnes & Noble. You knew of the only place in the city where you could get imports. You probably had a subscription to both NewType AND Shonen Jump. You may have even rented Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals from Blockbuster!
We've scoured the Earth and collected these stories of teenage animedom. So whether you live under the Tree of Might, have Moon Prism Power, fight against Talpa, or are some kind of Feudal Japanese Warrior Pizza Feline you'll read this and remember...
I WAS A TEENAGE ANIME

Our Goals (& What We're Doing with Your Money)
The biggest hurdle is funding the initial print run of the zine. We are providing contributing artists with copies to sell at cons/in their own online shops/etc.
If we exceed our funding goal, we can afford to provide the artists with more copies which will put MORE MONEY in their pockets! Isn't that great?
What You Get
You are important! You should get SOMETHING, right?
- For $3 you get a PDF copy of I WAS A TEENAGE ANIME.
- For $6 (plus the cost of shipping) you get the PDF and a real-life physical copy of I WAS A TEENAGE ANIME to have and to hold.
There are some fun bonuses, too. We might even be adding more, so stay tuned for updates.
When Am I Getting My Stuff?
Our comic is launching at the Small Press Expo (SPX) 2013 in mid-September. So PDF and physical copies will be delivered to coincide with that.
The Specs
- 30+ black and white pages of anime nostalgia from some of your very favorite and soon-to-be favorite comic artists
- Full-color cover painted by Brandon B. (hey, that's me!)
- This isn't just some legal paper we're cutting in half and then folding. The final dimensions are going to be a great-looking 6"x9". Wow!
