Long Long Ago, we were called Limelight Publishing, founded in 1994 by William Hols; LP released Tezuka Award winning Animeco: The Anime Connection magazine(HI), Silent Winter (a cross over with Sam Campos' Pineappleman #4, HI), Zaibatsu Tears by Richard Bartrop (Canada), Guardian Knights By T. L. & D. A. Graf (CA), Legion Anthology (later Legion Manga Anthology) by Legion Chronicles(HI), and Wild Side by United Publications (United Kingdom).
William "Doc" Grant Jr (Royal Hawaiian QRP Press publisher, Dragonriders' Comic's and Games owner, Legionnaire Hobbies & Games night manager) joined the firm in 1997 as Sales Manger, and began managing the comics line in 1998. Doc split off from the original company in 2002, and founded Lime Media Hawaii, which produced the Anime in Limelight radio show, and published the Hawaii Star Manga Project, an experimental ecomicbook, with a pop culture magazine segment.
The Hawaii Star Manga Project original run in 2010 lasted 5 issues before family emergencies suspended production. It is being revived as the new try out book for Lime Media Hawaii. Our new Lime Media Hawaii Presents line consists of 4 titles: the super police action of Code 3, the high fantasy and magic of The Hylanthean:Light of the Herald, a delightful mystery and monster hunt in Mystery of the Black Water, and a supernatural coming of age tale with an old Hawaiian twist Children of Aumakua. Web comic versions appear on Comic Fury, see www.limemediahawaii.com to Read Our Stuff!
