ARTMIC FAN BOOK SC

ARTMIC was the animation design studio responsible for classics like Genesis Climber Mospeada (Robotech), Bubblegum Crisis, Megazone 23, Gall Force, Dragon’s Heaven, Genocyber, and many more. This 56 page 'zine covers the history and development of ARTMIC from its origins in the late ‘70s to its demise in the late ‘90s.

Unlike the first three Zimmerit 'zines, this one is bigger, has twice the page count, and features perfect binding rather than staples.

Inside you’ll find:

The early history of the studio, including its (admittedly small) role in creating Macross
A production history of Mospeada
Details on ARTMIC's short-lived garage kit subsidiary
The origins of Gall Force
The evolving development of Megazone 23
The story of how Bubblegum Crisis was first pitched at a party
Articles about MADOX-01, Dragon’s Heaven, Genocyber, Gaiarth, and Scramble Wars
Short features about some of the strangest VHS tapes ARTMIC worked on and their involvement with Bandai’s B-Club publishing division
Extensive endnotes and sources
Appendices covering notable ARTMIC books, ARTMIC video releases in English, and model kits
7x9”, 56 pages, full-color cover, black and white interior pages with square bound binding
