The who’s who in the comic industry have been in San Diego at the Comic Con. This is always a large scale event. And this year was no exception.
Lots of deals were made. And that means new comic books coming to a comic store near you soon. Here are some of the deals according to Publisher’s Weekly:
Del Rey had several title announcements at the Random House Panel. Editor Tricia Narwani has signed an original graphic novel collection of literary short stories called In The Flesh by Koren Shadmi, an Israeli and graduate of SVA; it will be published in February 2009. Del Rey will also publish Brenden Burford’s previously self-published comics-as-reportage series Syncopated in May 2009. The book will have all new material. They’re also publishing a new Harvey Pekar work called Huntington, W.V On The Fly and have signed Paul Hornschemier’s new work Life With Dr. Dangerous in Jan. 20. The biggest news is that CLAMP in America, a newly commissioned work from Shaenon Garrity about the superstar Japanese manga collective CLAMP, will document CLAMP’s history and cultural impact on the manga market in the U.S.. The book is due in 2009.
