In a State of Confusion About AMP

Published: October 20, 2026 1 minute 1 comment

This story about a new AMP Comics comic book brings up something that is troubling me.

When I combine AMP and comics my mind goes to Andrews McMeel Publishing’s AMP Comics for Kids but for the past year AMP Comics is what comes up in the news feeds.

Then there are the Amy M. Perrin picture books for kids.

I could understand the Association of Pencil Manufacturers or the American Museum Placard Co. using the AMP monogram, but three companies publishing illustrated books seems bonkers.

Can someone explain how this gets around trademark laws?

  1. It would appear that AMP Comics is the only one of the three that has registered “AMP” as a trademark. Andrews McMeel seems to use the acronym in their menu and URLs, but it doesn’t appear on their pages. The website for A.M. Perrin seems amateurish and is incomplete, showing placeholders for e-mail and telephone number, and the social media links just go to the main pages. I don’t think that AMP Comics needs to worry about the “competition”.
