In this episode,
Frederick chats with REGGIE BYERS, an early pioneer of the indie American manga scene aka OEL back in the 1980's.
His comic SHURIKEN was not only one of the 1st manga-inspired comics but was a successful self-published comic by a black artist. As a kid in the 80's the EXISTENCE of SHURIKEN inspired Frederick to create the brand, anthology, and culture of DIVERSE MANGA via Saturday AM.

SATURDAY FM RETURNS with a new SEASON of conversations on the ups and downs of the indie manga revolution started by SATURDAY AM in 2013.
HOST and PUBLISHER, Frederick L. Jones, takes you on a journey each episode of an UNVARNISHED VIEW of the wins and losses experienced by most independent comic creators and publishers. We explore the impact of digital resources as well as the vagaries of the "mainstream" market of brick and mortar retail stores.
Saturday AM's MISSION is to bring much-needed DIVERSITY to the manga industry. Our #SUMMEROFMANGA annual event is a highlight of our efforts as each year, we discover, develop, and distribute up and coming artists from around the world.
This 2021 class is one of the best we've ever had and you can meet the 1st five of them in this installment.
