Retroactive Comics

"We do make comics like they used to!"

Welcome! We are a small comic book company dedicated specifically to doing things old school. In our opinion, the style in which comic books are mostly done today is not inherently better, only different. And with all due respect to modern-style comics, we feel that how comics used to be done needs some representation on the market as well. There are some comics on the market right now that cater to this market segment already, but we feel there should be more - not the least because these are the kind of comics that we want to make.

So if you're a fan of Bronze Age comics, or Silver Age comics, or even Golden Age comics, we're going to try and replicate how things used to work back then. More compressed stories, less gritty realism, and an absolute, wholehearted embracing of the superhero genre! We hope that we're not the only people who miss the comics of old, and we humbly ask for your support in trying to bring this style of comic back into the marketplace.

Enterprise!
