SLG Publishing has announced it will Self-Distribute to Retailers

SLG Publishing’s founder and president Dan Vado has announced that the company would accept orders directly from comic book retailers for it’s comics and graphic novel products in the wake of the continuing issues with Diamond Comics Distribution. The company had previously sold directly to retailers helping to build its early success.

SLG Publishing, which is best known for its eclectic creator-owned titles like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac by Jhonen Vasquez and Rex Liris by James Turner, will now put a renewed effort into selling to comic shops directly both for its backlist and new releases.

The publisher not only has perennial sellers but they still release 3-4 books per year. In the announcement, Vado said retailers can expect a 50% discount and can get discounted shipping rates for orders over $300.

SLG is working on a website solution for wholesale orders, so in the interim, retailers can reach out directly to the company via email at dvado@slgpubs.com.
