COM (manga magazine)
COM (コム, Komu) was a manga magazine started in January 1967 by Osamu Tezuka.[1] It was started in response to the success of Garo (which at that time was around its highest circulation), and as a way for Tezuka and other artists to showcase more avant-garde and experimental works in manga.[2] The first seven stories of Phoenix were the most famous work to be published from this anthology before it went under in 1972. In addition, the famous feminist cartoonist Murasaki Yamada got her start working for this anthology.

gollark: We need to distinguish between readable and comorehensiivlity.
gollark: Well, you can nest them, presumably.
gollark: No. They're not composable or anything.
gollark: Being able to read the low-level structure of the code (oh, this is looping over a thing and doing another thing) IS NOT THE SAME as UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT DOES AND WHY!
