" For the past 20 years we have been able to establish a footing for our trade softback and graphic novel in the record book market thanks in no small part to the living and efforts of Diamond Book Distributors , " saidEric Stephenson , Publisher at Image Comics . " Over time , our needs and backlist of title have grown and our increasing footprint in the mart has us excited to take this next step with Simon & Schuster to build a more racy infrastructure for our titles there . "
Once upon a time , Image Comics was creditworthy for Diamond Comic Distributors not lead belly-up , courtesy of the walk Dead collection sales , which could only be ordered by bookshop through Diamond . Image Comics was committed to stay with Diamond after DC Comics walked after the pandemic shutdowns , with publisherEric Stephensoncalling them"hasty , sociopathic decisions" . However , I realise that three days later , Image Comics – far from precipitous – has been disgruntled that Diamond has not made the change to the system that Image Comics believe were needed , and that informed their late moves away from Diamond to Lunar and to Simon & Schuster .
" We are delighted to receive Image Comics to our fellowship of distribution client , " saidMichael Perlman , Senior Vice President , General Manager of Simon & Schuster Publisher Services . " We look forward to partnering with them to help share their graphic novel with readers throughout North America . "

Image Comics ' Digital / ebook dispersion iscurrently serviced by IPGand is unaffected by this change .
