Review Fix: What was the inspiration for Red Port comics?
Den K: The idea of creating a project Red Port comics based on our love of comics and desire to help novice independent authors to publish their comic book history.

Review Fix: What makes Red Port Comics special?

Review Fix: What are your goals for the label in 2016?
Den K: In 2016 we have set ourselves lots of goals. However, the main one is to successfully complete the fundraising for the English version of our website which now runs on crowdfunding platform Indiegogo. We also want to run 4 more comic series, to make an interactive comic in which readers will be able to predetermine the fate of the hero, as well as to open an online store of branded products. The implementation of these project goals is largely dependent on the success of the fundraiser (on IndieGoGo.
