Shanda the Panda

Shanda the Panda, a 14-issue series from Antarctic Press that ran from 1993 to 1996, offers a lighthearted, all-ages romp through a world of anthropomorphic animals. Regular writers Mike Curtis and Mark Barnard, alongside a rotating art team including Joyceanna Brock, Ed Garcia, and Joe Rosales, crafted a charmingly offbeat adventure comic that stands as a quirky, lesser-known gem from the early days of the small-press boom.
