Our Story
At CROC, we celebrate occasional, experimental and wonderfully imperfect. We surface important ideas and snap them to life, following our dreams along the way. We spend hours rewriting, redrawing, reimagining until our work reflects our values as clearly as possible. We love stories that make us laugh, cry, think, live in the moment.

What we Publish
Zines – either a short story accompanied by creative drawings, or an amalgamation of thoughts passionately wrapped into text, or something completely different – we love organizing tiny pieces into powerful zines.
Poetry – verses that take on many different rhythms, rhyme schemes, structures, that make no sense right way or cut right to the core, that evoke imagery and transport readers to unimaginable spaces – poetry symbolizes the versatility of our world.
Comics – panels coming to life through carefully curated characters and their universes, short phrases encompassing vast stories, details flowing from one corner to another following a pencil – comics offer a unique way of storytelling!
