New publisher information

Are you a publisher looking to add your books to StripReprints.com? Great! Here are some relevant details:

  • While we have launched as a site for publishers offering comic strip reprints through print-on-demand services, we are not locked into that last part. If you’re a traditional hard-copy publisher of strip reprints and would be interested in being catalogued here, drop us a line.
  • This site is limited to comic strip collections — not comic books, graphic novels, etcetera. Our definition of “comic strip” is fairly broad, and we already have books not just of strips from mainstream daily newspapers, but special-interest publications as well (Catholic, Jewish, and African-American weekly papers, magazines, newsletters, trade journals.) So long as it’s comics (or single-panel cartoon material) of no more than one page per installment that appeared in periodical series, it’s likely to count. So to are webcomics that appeared in formats similar to newspaper comics. Some books are hybrids of materials, but probably at least 1/3 of the book should be comic strip material.
  • The site is only for books that are currently available in print. As such, do not approach us until you have that first copy available.
  • There is at this time no charge for being listed here. The closest thing to a cost is that the website’s referal code will be dropped into any link to Amazon, to help raise money to defray costs.
  • Listings are entered by the publishers themselves. The management of this site reserves the right to adjust listings so that their cosmetics and organization work well within the ecology of this site.
  • Sales are not actually made through this site. Rather we provide links to printer or publisher sites where sales can be made. This is a catalog, not a sales platform.
  • Public domain work is great, licensed material or owned material is great, but management reserves the right to reject books that appear to be in violation of copyright or might cause us legal concerns.

If all this is good, or if you have any questions, drop a note to questions@aboutcomics.com.
