SelfMadeHero - A new UK manga publisher starting in 2007 Tue, 9 Jan 2007

Starting the new year with a bang, a fresh UK "manga" publisher has been set-up in London. The label is called SelfMadeHero and they plan to release (starting in March) "global manga" versions of Shakespeare's ever enduring Romeo and Juliet (illustrated by Sonia Leong) and Hamlet (illustrated by Emma Vieceli).

It's worth noting that while SelfMadeHero are calling these publications "manga", they have clearly been conceived and illustrated in the UK. With that said, it's great to see manga-influenced artists continue to find an avenue for their work in the UK.

Visit the SelfMadeHero official website for more information.
