Manga Ex

From 2001 to the present, Antarctic Press released Manga Ex, a six-issue comic series that blends Western and Japanese comic influences. Most frequently written by Hiro-san and James Croley, with art by David Hutchison and Croley, the series stands as a distinctive artifact of the early-2000s manga-inspired boom in American comics. Its concise run captures a moment when publishers experimented with hybrid storytelling styles, making it a notable footnote in the publisher's eclectic catalog.
