Forest Hills Bootleg Society

Set in a small Massachusetts town in the early 2000s, Forest Hills Bootleg Society follows a group of teenage girls who start a bootleg anime DVD business to fund a trip to a convention. Published by Simon and Schuster in 2022, this single-issue comic captures the era of dial-up internet and burned discs with a warm, nostalgic energy. It’s a heartfelt, self-contained story about friendship, fandom, and the lengths kids go to for their obsessions.
