Youth in Decline

Youth in Decline is a publisher of lovely and strange zines, comics, and books.

Youth in Decline is a publisher of lovely and strange zines, comics, and books. They are based in San Francisco, and work out of a small office/Risograph print shop called Mission Risoplex. Youth in Decline's focus is on supporting diverse and unique stories from up and coming North American creators, introducing English-speaking audiences to Their favorite international cartoonists and writers, and providing an outlet for artistic books from established creators They love. They value Their authors, and the fair and prompt compensation of creators is a central tenant of every project and product They release. Youth in Decline is run by Publisher Ryan Sands and his wife Jane Sands, but is made possible through a loose affiliation of internet and IRL friends, including Michael DeForge, Hannah K. Lee, David Murray, and Jillian Tamaki. Please check out the Their Books pages for details on announced and upcoming titles!
