“One publisher worth watching is Saturday AM, which started in 2013 as an online anthology of shonen manga–inspired comics by creators from around the world. The Quarto Group began releasing print editions in 2020. These solid titles can hold their own against most of the Shonen Jump output. They also put people of color and LGBTQIA+ people front and center.”
– Brigid Alverson
As our founder Frederick L. Jones said,
“MANGA is like HIP HOP, it’s now CULTURE, not just comics.”
Saturday AM, the first Black-owned full-line manga publisher, is proud to see our diverse lineup getting the spotlight. From award-winning titles like CLOCK STRIKER and HAMMER (@jeyodin) to our talented global artists like Oscar Fong (New Zealand) and Fred Tornager (Denmark), we’re making waves!
A huge thank you to SLJ and Brigid Alverson for the shout out and for sparking this incredible conversation!
