Who founded Invader Comics?

Invader was founded by three creators who saw great books and talented writers and artists being ignored all over the world, and decided to do something about it.

What’s the difference between mainstream and independent comic publishing?

For the reader, independent comic publishing means finding stories that mainstream publishers might deem “too weird to be commercially viable”. For a creator, it means a more personal, hands-on experience where YOU keep the rights to your own work.

Floppies, graphic novels, trades, hardcovers, and mass market paperback books.

The comic I want is out of stock. Will it be reprinted?

Invader reprints a title when reorders from shops and distributors show enough demand. There is no fixed reprint schedule.

The best way to get a sold-out book back in print: ask your local comic shop to reorder it through Lunar or Universal, or your bookstore through IPG. New printings are announced on our releases page and in our newsletter.
