The message outlines core principles, including open publication, responsible views on generative AI, zero tolerance for bullying and harassment, and respect toward NSFW and marginalized creators. It also provides translation context for a war-drama comic set in Nazi-occupied Greece, highlighting its historical faithfulness and coming-of-age focus.","AGESMAGE  \nIssue \\#1  \n△ DANGER!△  \n2026/10une)DANGER!WITHOUT MOONLIGHTPIPELINE LIZARDS  \nDEVIL'S BLOODCET AWAY  \nTHE TRUE FACESILLY GOOSE  \nNOCTURNE 21SILVER &IRON  \nFREE AND INDIEWEBCOMIC MAGAZINE  \nWELCOME,DEAR READER!  \nThey say one of the worst ways to start a comic is with a wall of text.I've started manycomics.Finished one,so far,I've spent almost four years now as an active creator withinthe artistic community,but \"T still haven't found what I'm looking for\".I know a few artists,who make a couple hundred bucks a month doing what they love,but theyre good at it.I've also seen artists who,year after year,just launch campaigns trying to raise enoughfunds to cover the bills and keep a roof over their heads.Some struggle with substanceabuse,some with depression,or live in countries under attack.These aren't hotshots likeStan Lee,most spend years,some even decades on a single project,yet they rarely ever getten reactions on a social media post about a new page.Theyre ordinary people who mightnot agree on 99 things out of 100,but the one thing they do agree on is enough to bringthem together,giving them a sense of purpose.No,it's not their shared hatred for GenAl andit's not that they want to make it in a highly competitive field either,although few would sayno to a hefty offer.It's that they want to inspire,in ways other artists'works inspired them.  \nI have a few core principles I try my best to live by,especiallywhen it comes to being in the artistic community.I intend torun Pages of Mages /Imagus in the same spirit:  \n1.The Magazine is free to read and free to publish in because it's meantto support independent artists.If you wish to help out,you can spreadthe word or submit your webcomic's pages to get published in a laterIssue,you can visit the Store to get designs for free and DIY print yourown merch with them,promoting PoM,along with the artworks ofothers.You can also start your own publication to translate the worksof independent webcomic creators to a foreign language for free oryou can just find some other way to Pay It Forward.  \n2.GenAl is not an isolated issue;it's a sign of the times andI'm not at all convinced that me going around shaming peoplewho ever used it would make anything better.That being said,GenAl is harmful,and works made using it are not welcome.  \n3.You can call me a big softie,but I don't condonethe bullying or harassment of anyone,for any reason.  \n4.Just because NSFW art is generally not allowed in this publication,it doesn't mean NSFW artists are people to be looked down upon.Often,along with LGBT+artists and their works,they are the veryfirst line of defense when artistic freedom is under attack.And it is.  \n5.Atypical art can be challenging.Sure,not everyone likes to bechallenged by such,but I don't think that makes it any less valid.  \n6.The people running those decades-old indie webcomic sites,like theDuck or ComicFury are working day and night to be our publishers,agents and buddies.They do this practically for free.We can disagreewith them,we can dislike them,but we shouldn't ever disrespect them!  \n7.When it comes to giving unsolicited criticism in public,I'm as goodat it as the next person,but having an opinion doesn't make me an artconnoisseur,and if I'm looking at some indie artist's passion project,beingright about something matters very little at the expense of being kind.  \n-Robin Holden Homoki/Inky Moondrop  \nTranslator's notes:The cover image was made well after the start of the comicbut it shows just how much the creator improved on her style since the launch.Text in blue marks conversations in Greek,while black marks German.Consideringthis is a WWIl drama in which the author has put tremendous work to presentthe times,the many locations,and documented historical events in a faithful andaccurate manner,not to mention the main cast of characters are being street kids,I've also put some effort into bringing you a translation rich in slang words,militaryand student lingo,that ac","cbCaisr8iCYFuyvl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisr8iCYFuyvl","pdf",49617188,3,1,85,"English","en",105,"# AGESMAGE - Issue #1\n## Core principles for the publication\n## About the translation\n## About the creator\n## About the comic\n## Recommended readers and availability","[{\"question\":\"What is AGESMAGE and why is it free to read and publish?\",\"answer\":\"AGESMAGE is a webcomic magazine meant to support independent artists.
