Comix-ART (Russian: Комикс-Арт, Komiks-Art) is a comics imprint of russian book publisher Domino^[1] It serves as a translator and the licensor of graphic novels, manga, manhwa and Original English-language manga^[2]. Comix-ART, founded in 2008^[3] with headquarter in Saint Petersburg, releases its titles in collaboration with Eksmo, another publishing house,^[4] and their books are published under "Eksmo" label. They do not reverse the pages (so called "flopping").

Comix-ART has been repeatedly criticized for the choice of fonts used to display letters inside the word balloons and for the placing of words in bubbles.^[5][6][7] AniMag editor commented on their publication of Naruto that a reader cannot distinguish some letters "without a magnifying glass".^[7]
