Antarctic Press is a San Antonio-based comic book publishing company which publishes "Amerimanga"[2] style comic books. The company also produces "how-to" and "you can" comics, instructing on areas of comic book creation and craft.
Beginning in 1985,[3] Antarctic Press has published over 850 titles with a total circulation of over 5 million.[citation needed] Befitting the company name, Antarctic's self-proclaimed mission is to "publish the coolest creator-owned comics on Earth".[3] Co-founder Ben Dunn's brother Joe Dunn is the company's publisher.
Many now-established creators started their careers at Antarctic (with most continuing to publish with them), including Chris Bunting, Ben Dunn, Eisner-nominated Rod Espinosa, and Joseph Wight. Cartoonist Alex Robinson serialized his first book, Box Office Poison, with Antarctic in the 1990s.[2]
