Season’s greetings, Ambassadors!
We want to not only wish you a happy season, but invite you to the vanguard of what we hope will someday become a significant, progressive movement in the arena of independent graphic novel publication. It’s not like no one else is producing independent comics – on the contrary, it’s almost everyone with an inkjet printer and access to the internet – but we really are trying to do something on a para-dimensional level that is not-unlike Tomorrowland in the recent Brad Bird film that got surprisingly panned, wherein Utopian things exist on a parallel plane of reality, just awaiting those privileged individuals who find themselves blessed with access via a magical pin. (I guess that might make us sound pretty high-and-mighty, but only in relation to the Utopian de4stination, not the critical response to the film*…)
Comparisons aside, we do strive to do something special with all of this. Not just making awesome books, but hopefully also to inspire readers to do something equally awesome. Maybe not book-related, maybe art-related, maybe pastry-related, whatever. Creativity is creativity, and we just want to fan that flame. Thus, we are sending you this link to the PREMIERE ISSUE of the MAGNETIC PRESS AMBASSADORS CLUB MAGAZINE, a monthly ‘zine filled with cool art, links, and (hopefully) inspiration offered exclusively to Ambassadors Club members.
