# Origin Stories

[**Origin Stories**](https://punkscomic.com/origin-stories.html) are a series of short (\~5 page) comics which explore the back stories of [16 PUNKS characters](/pixel-vault/learn/ecosystem/punks/punks-comic/16-punks.md), letting us take the time to get to know them outside of the PUNKS Comic series. It'll be released in two sets:

* **Set 1:** Issues 1-8
* **Set 2:** Issues 9-16
