16 years ago, Eric Nakamura and Martin Wong joined forces in Los Angeles and created the little 'zine that could, Giant Robot. To say that a lot has changed since then is the understatement of the century. GR went from being a fanzine to a magazine to a successful small business, and is currently recognized as a driving force in the art world. It's an amazing success story, one totally based on a DIY ethic, and doing what you believe in with people you believe in. But the simple fact is that print as a business is hurting as more and more printed matter goes online instead of to press, and Giant Robot is no exception to the rule. It was our fans who helped build GR into what it is today, and will no doubt help us take us to the next level. Right now, we need your support. Eric explains it all very nicely in his most recent blog entry. Take a minute to check it out. Giant Robot is lucky to have a most devoted fanbase, and we're grateful for all your support over the years and into the future. Thanks.
