Frontier is a quarterly art and comics monograph series produced by Youth in Decline. Inspired in part by South Korea's SSE Project and in part by DC Comics "Solo" series, each issue will highlight exciting and challenging new work by a single artist. The printing and look of each issue will change to match the style of work.

Frontier is focused on highlighting the work of up-and-coming talent in the North American indie comics scene, introducing the work of international artists we adore, and presenting uncommon dispatches from our favorite creators.
