The Comic Book Guide to the Mission

From 2013 onward, Skoda Man Press published The Comic Book Guide to the Mission—a single-issue comic that serves as a playful, illustrated tour of San Francisco’s Mission District. Written by Matt Stewart and drawn by John Mathis, this one-off blends local history, cultural landmarks, and neighborhood lore into a compact, visually engaging guide. It matters as a unique, place-specific comic that captures the spirit of a beloved urban enclave without overstaying its welcome.
