Who we are and what we do

July 29th, 2009 was a big day for Anakata Comics: It was born. Four of us – writer/artist Nils Mørk, web developer Aksel Nordal, artist Seth Piper and writer Lars Schwed Nygård – founded the publishing outfit in an Oslo bar, excited and relieved to have an outlet for the stories that bounce around in our heads and keep us awake at night.

Buying books
We will soon have a store up and running on this site, through which you can buy our books. If you can’t wait to get your hands on issue #0 of Lars and Seth’s mythological steampunk western “Wakan Unwanted”, send an e-mail to lars@anakata-comics.com.

Online experiments
anakata-comics.com will be more than just a storefront window for books, though. We aim to explore different techniques and solutions for webcomics storytelling, tailoring each story’s interface to the needs of that particular narrative. Check out “The Time I Went Looking for the Buddha” for an example of what I mean.

Coming up …

In early September you can expect to see an online teaser story for Nils’ as yet unnamed nine issue debut epic. I would love to tell you more about it, but I won’t; Nils knows where I live. Issue #1 of “Wakan Unwanted” will be available round about the same time, so make sure to check back next month.
