At White Dragon Comics, we maintain an abundant inventory of Antarctic Press comic books for sale, including long-running legends and the latest 2026 solicitations.

Iconic Long-Running Series

Antarctic Press is home to some of the most enduring creator-owned series in history, often written and drawn by the same visionary artists for decades.

• Gold Digger: Created by Fred Perry, this series is a "masterclass" in world-building, following the adventures of super-scientist Gina Diggers and her were-cheetah sister, Britanny. It is a unique blend of Indiana Jones exploration and Final Fantasy magic.
• Ninja High School: A fan-favorite created by Ben Dunn, this series centers on the comedic and action-packed life at Quagmire High. It successfully parodies anime tropes while delivering a heartfelt narrative about young ninjas, aliens, and ordinary students.
