Study Group Magazine

Study Group Magazine (2012–present, Study Group Comics) is a quarterly anthology series that showcases a rotating lineup of emerging and established indie cartoonists. Published by the small press collective Study Group Comics, the magazine is known for its eclectic mix of short stories, experimental comics, and serialized works, often featuring creators like Michael DeForge, Sam Alden, and Melissa Mendes. Across its four issues, the series has served as a vital platform for offbeat, formally adventurous storytelling, capturing the energy of the 2010s alt-comics scene. It matters as a snapshot of a fertile period in independent comics, offering a curated glimpse into the voices that would define the decade's underground.
