And the teamwork continues! Alien Books and IDW are forming a strategic partnership. This means you will be able to order Valiant comics under the IDW section of the PRH directory.
According to the announcement, foreign books will receive IDW’s distribution, marketing, sales analysis and logistical support while retaining creative control over editorials. Apart from mentioning that IDW will essentially provide a distributor that is essentially an alien through its existing relationships (DM and PRH of the bookstore) – with very few details. But, it does make sense for Alien, who published European and South American imports, comics, and perhaps the most important range for the U.S. market, a reboot of the heroic comic superhero universe. A recent release – Classic SF Story Black Star The authors of Barriero and Giménes are an example of high-quality materials produced by aliens that will benefit from the PRH’s catalog. Of course, heroes from afar will also perform well there.
“We are excited to partner with IDW Publishing to distribute our comics, graphic novels and comics to direct markets and bookstores.” Matias Timarchi,,,,, Director and Editor of Alien Books. “ IDW’s team has been very enthusiastic, and this partnership allows us to continue to produce the best comics while allowing IDW’s excellent sales and operations team to better position our creators’ work.

“We are happy to work with the aliens.” Davidi Jonas,,,,, CEO of IDW Media Holdings. “Their team led by Matias is very cooperative and smart – fun, friendly and fast. Alien has an excellent creative and dynamic publishing program. The IDW team has proven that we are an excellent partner and through consistent interests, entrepreneurial sensitivity and shared services and our expectation to make Alien’s coverage, revenue and profitability a lot of them will be gained.
Of all the new and unusual partnerships announced after the Diamond Comics breakup, this is one of the more engaging ones and suggests that they might be even further smaller but well-known publishers if they can find larger partners. The large Indian islands are the fastest gate, but will surely arrive.
