Comic book stuff

The three big centers of Anglo-American comic book are Sierra, the UC and Superior.

• In Sierra, Excelsior Comics is the standard bearer of Anglo-American comic book style; however, ever since the Cultural Revolution went into full swing, manga-styled comics became very influential. The other half of Sierra's comic book Big Two (Tengen sounds like a decent name) is largely rooted in Asian comic art and story styles.
• Superior is in a similar situation, but it got injected with European comics instead. The big two are Fawcett Comics and GP, the latter publishing comics from Europe and giving a start to a Euro-inspired local tradition.
  • GP had a deal with Excelsior in the past to publish their comics in Superior.
• United Commonwealth has National Comics.
