Comic Book Publishers
How To Read Digital Comic Books on iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone
Author: Abby Sounder
The iPad is perfect for reading your digital comics. It beats out the Kindle and other ebook readers because, unless you’re reading a graphic novel in B & W, then you want to see your comics in color. Duh!
You have lots of choices for downloading comic books to your iPad. You can download them individually or you can get a subscription to one of the comic book publishers like Marvel Comics for .99 a month or .88 for a year’s subscription. The drawback with this type of membership is it locks you into just Marvel comics and you probably want to also read manga and graphic novels.
Another way to go is to buy your comics through the Kindle store, or Barne’s and Noble Nook, or the iTunes store. If you go that route you’ll need to get the App for those stores for you iPad.
However we’ve also found two membership sites, that for less than the price of the Marvel membership let you download unlimited books, magazines, comics and newspapers.
One of these sites is My Pad Media a membership site that offers fast downloads for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. They offer unlimited downloads of comics, books, magazines, newspapers and other media with no download fees. They also include 24/7 technical support for their members. My Pad Media has been in business for awhile so they have a pretty huge selection and growing all the time. Their membership is .95 for a lifetime membership with a 60 day full refund if you don’t like the service.
The other membership site is Pad Bro. It offers a similar membership and offers the unlimited books, magazines, comics and newspapers. It seems very similar to My Pad Media and also offers the 60 full refund if you don’t like the membership. This membership costs and is also for a lifetime membership! If you sign up with Pad Bro right now they’re also including a bonus gift of IPTuber, which allows you to watch TV programs on your computer.
Both of these membership sites also support downloads for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad! Sounds worth checking out.

Image comics has already become as good if not better than marvel and all works published trough there are creator owned
dark horse but they publish a lot less
dont count big companies out
dc owns vertigo and wildstorm which produce indie comics
marvel has icon which also publishes alternatives
all of which are creator owned
Also, a lot of successful comics writers/artists self-published their work for a while, like how Adrian Tomine published and sold Optic Nerve himself. If you can show a track record of being able to sell the stuff you self-publish, that can help interest an agent or publisher in your work. You might also check out some of the comics publishers and distributors like Fantagraphics and Drawn & Quarterly.
Well, comedy.
I don’t really know what you’re asking. But if you’re trying to do the whole “I’ll write/create what’s popular,” please, don’t. Because then you’re not really doing what you want to anymore, and you’re trying to please people by doing what you’re not really into. It’s like writing a book about unicorns and fairies when you prefer dragons and Hydras.
Just do what you want to do. I couldn’t tell you what comic book publishers are looking for, anyways.
If you really want your idea published, why not do it yourself ?
Set up a free website and publish your idea on it weekly or monthly. It might be slow but if you advertise it in the right places, i’m sure you will get it noticed
DC’s Vertigo Imprint has published work with mature themes, explicit violence and sex, as well as swearing. So has Darkhorse, Image, and various independent publishers (Slave Labour Graphics, Drawn & Quarterly, Fantagraphics, Oni Press, etc)
VERTIGO has all the good ones!!!
Call em up or send an email
marvel.com?
btw i love marvel spiderman and everyhting haha hope to see ur idea in the comics 😉
Most companies have a special time they will accept outside submissions. Most of the larger companies will have that info on their websites. Did you try any of the manga companies, like tokyo pop? My brother just got published by them! It took him a long time and he received a ton of “sorry, not interested” letters. He also went to every Wizard World Con that was close by and talked to companies and other writers that way.
He has a Myspace too! I don’t want to share his name, but if you look for Tantric Strip fighter Trina, that is his creating. He is also working on another independent comic with Jason Copeland. They both have sites on myspace. Check them out, maybe they both can help you better than I can.
Good Luck to you!

What kind of stories are comic publishers looking for these days ?
I want to make a new comic book ( not exactly your typical super heroe in modern city one though ) more like a random epic adventure in a different world.
What exactly are comic book publishers looking for these days though ?
How do you submit a comic book idea to Marvel?
I have an awesome comic book idea- does anyone know how I can submit it to Marvel? I’m confident it’s kickass, so how do I get it to a reputable comic book publisher?
comic like book publishers?
is there any comic book publishers that will allow cuss words in the book? [like DAMN, [dammit,] PISS [for piss off, etc.] ASS [for “im gonna kick your ass.etc] and so on..?
not over the extreme, like sexual and stuff like that.
and the kind of book im talkin about, would be like a teen/preteen.etc book, like ANIME [ive heard anime has weird stuff, etc]
any publishers that would take that?
??????
thanks
Do literary agents help find comic book publishers?
Along side I guess “traditional” book publishers. Do literary agents also help you find comic book publishers and things like that?
how can I get the attention of comic publishers like marvel or image to publish my comic books?
I’m an independent comic book creator. I have published my own manga style series, I have three 24 page comics total. I have a MySpace and other forms of average advertisement and I attend the motor city con, and xcape con every year selling my books. are there any main stream publishers out there willing to give a indie creator a chance?
what are some good comic book publishers besides marvel?
I can’t seem to find any good comic book publishers that don’t focus on manga or superheroes. I want to publish a very alternative comic book.
