The world of comics is changing. In the past decade, the web has exploded with thousands upon thousands of comics in an absolutely staggering range of styles and subjects. Webcomics have created a rich new space for both artists and readers alike.
We’re thrilled to be able to showcase a few of our favorite webcomic artists in San Francisco, double punch. Join us and show your love for webcomics at our dedicated site – www.welovewebcomics.com. Stay tuned for more images and details!
Two of our favorite things are combined here – Macaroons and Gloomy Bear! These cute Baby Gloomy Bears in their diapers love to eat Macaroons so much that they are dripping out of their mouths. It’s a new theme to the ongoing popular Gloomy Bear series! Each has a keychain strap so you can bring it everywhere you go.
TRIGUN is a popular sci-fi action anime series. The setting takes place in a remote planet of the near future. It portrays the life of a wanted man, Vash, an extreme pacifist by nature bizarrely nicknamed as the “human typhoon”. Production was done by Madhouse, which also worked on NARUTO animated films, DEATH NOTE TV series. The TRIGUN original comic was originally published from 1995 to 2007 in Japan. The manga has been translated into English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and a lot more. English translated version distributed in 2003 was sold out immediately and in 2004 it achieved the position as the #1 best seller graphic novel in US.
