Wow!  Bubbles is an honest-to-goodness, true-blue, old-school, comics-(and-manga)-fanzine. Running 32 magazine-size pages – with a 16-page, digest-size insert – Bubbles is a materialization of its creator's (creators') enthusiasm, clearly (a) serious fan(s).  Their self-effacing dedication is evident in the fact that they neglected to credit themselves anywhere in the publication (that we could find)! 

Here's what's in store in the first, jam-packed issue:
