Forte said of the deal “We are thrilled to be working with SCB Distributors to bring our books to an entirely new audience outside the comic book store world. The graphic novel industry is exploding and we’ve got some great new titles coming out in the next few years.”
SCB President Aaron Silverman said “We’re very excited to have Asylum Press’ graphic novels to our catalog. We look to help distribute Asylum’s titles into the booktrade, to Canada, digitally and beyond.”
