Berkeley,
CA – October 3, 2011 – Graphicly, a social networking and digital
distribution platform for the visual entertainment industry, announced
today a partnership with Image Comics, the third largest comic book
publisher in the US and the number one creator owned content publisher,
to digitally supply and share their entire publishing catalog, including
such hits as Walking Dead, Invincible, Savage Dragon, Chew and many
more, to be released same day as print on Graphicly.
Working with
Graphicly, Image Comics will be expanding their reach on all iOS and
Android platforms including Barnes & Noble’s NOOKcolor and Amazon’s
Kindle Fire. As the only comic book application on Facebook, Graphicly
will be making the world of Image Comics available to this growing
social audience. Image’s Facebook page will become a browseable comic
store where potential readers can preview and purchase the wares while
never having to leave the page. Fans can now like a new comic and share
it on a friend’s wall!
"20 years ago, Image Comics changed the
comic book industry and we’re excited that they’ve chosen Graphicly to
help them innovate comics in the digital age." said Micah Baldwin, CEO
of Graphicly. "Image's focus on creator owned content , making them THE
cutting edge publisher for creator owned titles, is perfectly aligned
with Graphicly's philosophy of putting the creator first. We are excited
to join them in becoming the leading cutting edge digital solution for
creators."
“For years, print comics have been dependent on a
single distribution network, so it's interesting to be a position to
utilize a variety of different digital platforms,” said Image Comics
Publisher Eric Stephenson. “As digital comics continue to become a
greater concern, it's important to embrace as many different options as
possible.”
Graphicly is bringing the content to the communities
rather forcing the people to come to them and is dedicated to providing
visual entertainment for the communities that love stories. Image Comics
is a venue where creators can publish their material while maintaining
creative control and the rights to the stories and characters they
create, as creator-owned properties. Together Graphicly and Image are
spreading the idea of the importance of good stories by world class
creators.
