This is a presentation that I will be hosting at the 2025 Boise Comic Arts Festival at the Boise Centre on the Grove Downtown in Room 120C on Saturday August 30th at 5pm. It is a FREE EVENT so please stop by.
Doujinshi is the Japanese word for self-published, unlicensed comic books produced by fans. These works are usually based on popular mangas, television shows, American comic books, and movies. There are thousands of doujinshi conventions in Japan each year. Now there are some American independent comic book artists that are getting in on the act. We'll look at and discuss a few examples from both countries.
