Diamond Comic Distributors has announced that they will distribute comics and graphic novels from UK publisher TPub, best known for the titles Twisted Dark, Tortured Life, and Tabatha. Comic fans will now be able to order TPub products from Diamond’s monthly Previews catalog, whereas before this, since TPub’s beginnings in 2011, readers had to purchase TPub books in the UK or online.
“We are pleased to build on our original agreement with TPub and have the opportunity to offer their titles into new outlets through Diamond Book Distributors,” said Diamond’s Vice President of Purchasing, John Wurzer. “Through our combined efforts, Diamond hopes to bring TPub new success within the industry, increasing audience awareness and continued demand for their printed works.”
“We’re very excited to be expanding our agreement with Diamond to include the bookstore market,” said Head of TPub Operations Ryan O’Sullivan. “As creators of graphic novels exclusively, selling our books to bookstores, libraries, and schools was an obvious next step for us as a publishing house. Our goal at TPub has always been to get even more people reading comics, and with the increased reach we now have through Diamond, we’re ready to do just that.”
Previously known for horror, mystery, and suspense, in 2016, TPub will be exploring different genres, such as super heroes, drama, and autobiography.
