Radio Comix

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Radio Comix is an alternative comic book publishing company.

Radio Comix was formed in late 1996, shortly after a change in publishing strategy at Antarctic Press. Looking to cut costs and focus more on more mainstream properties, Antarctic Press decided to discontinue publishing all translated manga, anthropomorphic and adults-only titles. Radio Comix was formed by two former Antarctic Press employees, Elin Winkler and Pat Duke. Two of the cancelled titles, Furrlough and Genus, both of which were long-running anthology titles, formed the backbone of the company, and helped provide a platform that allowed Radio Comix to add more titles and artists. As of 2006, Furrlough has become the longest-running anthology comic book on the shelves at 160+ issues, and Genus is the longest-running adults-only comic book at 75+ issues. Other long-running titles include the adult anthology Milk at 50+ issues, and Mangaphile at 24 issues. As of 2006, Radio Comix has published over 400 comic book issues and a dozen trade paperbacks, and remains one of the most stable independent comic book publishers around.

In 2001, Radio Comix created the Sin Factory imprint, to help distinguish its adults-only titles (such as Milk and Genus) from the non-adult titles.
