Majalah Starz (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Starz is a manga anime magazine made especially for the otaku in Malaysia.
The original theme of the magazine was Majalah Komik Gaya Urban ("Urban style comic magazine") but was later changed to Majalah Manga Anime Terkini, ("Latest manga anime magazine"). Its first issue came out on June 4, 2004.
It is published twice each month by Art Square Creation Sdn. Bhd. Since then Starz has been one of the most popular comic magazines in Malaysia. The articles are about the latest anime, manga, and anime-related things such as DVDs, OSTs, and toys. Besides articles, the magazine also has comics made by great Malaysian comic artists such as Zint(Under 18-No Fear), Kaoru (Helios Eclipse), Fatal Chaos (Ben), Loveville (Aie) and many more.
As of February 2007, GempakStarz has made the decision to turn Starz into a monthly magazine. Starz no longer show cases the comics of local comics save a few shorties. Instead, Starz now showcases information on the latest manga, animations, movies, lyrics and artists. Most of Starz's loyal readers do not agree with this decision.
All of the comics that used to be printed in Starz have now been moved to their other magazine (Gempak) with the exception of Dewi Remaja.
The local artists consist of Keith, C2v, Ben, Kaoru, Puyuh, Apoh, Zint, Clay, Ayour and Kenny
