The Patron Saint of Comics
A near-fatal health condition put Annie Koyama out of commission for over a decade. One day, while taking her pain medication, she had an epiphany—someone was making a lot of money selling those meds. Soon, Annie was playing the stock market, turning her savings into a small fortune. Once she was on the mend, Annie sought out exciting emerging comic artists and gave them money to publish their first books. Her passion project became a small publishing house, and over the course of 10 years, Koyama Press became one of the most well-respected publishers in indie comics today. The concept of "no strings attached" may seem too good to be true, but so is Annie. Look at 126 different artist interpretations of Koyama Press' Kickass Annie logo.
