Beckett Teams with Image
Headline - Press release
Posted by Frederik Hautain on May 11, 2005
Image Comics has teamed up with Beckett Entertainment to publish their catalog of books and original graphic novels.
"This is a great partnership for us," says Beckett Entertainment's President Jeff Amano.
"To make a long story short, Beckett, Inc. was a three-division company and two of thedivisions were recently sold to Apprise Media. Jim Beckett and I kept Beckett Entertainmentwhich was a separate corporation anyway. The problem was, all three divisions shared a centralsupport staff for sales, marketing, printing, everything!"
"So, our choices were to rebuild a whole new support staff or focus on our content. For us, ImageCenral makes a lot of sense, partnering with their experience, expertise, and established brand."
The publishing schedule for Beckett Entertainment's books through the rest of the year looks like this:
September - RONIN HOOD OF THE 47 SAMURAI OGN
October - GANGLORDS OF CHINATOWN TPB
November - FADE FROM GRACE TPB
December - KISS & TELL TPB
"Jeff Amano has enlisted some fantastic creators to produce some awesome comics and we're happy to be getting these books out through Image!" says Executive Director Eric Stephenson.
Keep an eye out in the July Previews catalog for the first of Beckett Entertainment's offerings through Image!
