Tundra Press
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tundra Press was an American comic book publisher founded by Kevin Eastman and based in Northampton, Massachusetts. It was meant to provide a venue for high-quality but "non-commercial" work by talented cartoonists and illustrators; its publications were noted in the trade for their high production values, including glossy paper stock, full-color printing, and non-saddle-stitch binding. Notable publications released by Tundra Press include Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics, Mark Martin and Jim Woodring's children's comic Tantalizing Stories (where most of Woodring's early Frank stories appeared), and Al Columbia's first solo comic book, Doghead.
Despite its ambitious start, Tundra never became a profitable enterprise and it closed its doors in 1993 after only three years of operation. Its holdings were acquired by Kitchen Sink Press.[1]
