Publication history
Frederick L. Jones from the United States, who has been an executive in video game industry, founded MyFutprint Entertainment in 2013 to assist in developing and marketing new manga concepts for creators from around the world.[1][2]
MyFutprint published the magazine Saturday AM with series like Apple Black from Nigeria, Saigami from Hungary, and Bully Eater and Clock Striker from the United States, becoming an alternate option to the Jump magazines from Japan.[3]
Eisner award winner, Sanford Greene, says Saturday AM's Commitment to serving as a gateway for talented black and brown creators in the visual style of manga is inspiring, with artists like WhytManga (Odunze Oguguo) and JeyOdin and series like Apple Black and Clock Striker, I'm eager to see them embark on this new journey of bringing their vision to graphic novels and to readers around the world. French manga artist and creator of the Radiant series, Tony Valente, also says Saturday AM Creators are diverse, and so are the stories they tell! when you looks at titles like Apple Black and Clock Striker- Dayum! They're like comfort food, giving you the shonen-type energy you crave when you're a shonen fan!
