The Dabel Brothers, publishers of the upcoming Dresden Files graphic novel, unveiled their new website today! Dresden fans will delight in the fantastic batch of concept art images, featuring Harry, Murphy, Morgan, Marcone, Bianca, and Carmichael.
The launch also coincided with a juicy new announcement: the Dabel Brothers have entered into a new distribution agreement with Del Rey, an imprint of Ballantine Books, to bring their products into the trade book market. In spring 2008, the popular literary comic book publisher will launch comic book adaptations of three major properties: New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein: Prodigal Son; Jim Butcher’s bestselling The Dresden Files; and George R.R. Martin’s Wild Cards. The graphic novel versions, to be distributed by Del Rey, will go on sale in summer/fall 2008.
The long-term arrangement will result in broader distribution for their graphic novels than they have had in the past, explains Ernst Dabel, President of Dabel Brothers Publishing. “While we will retain our autonomy and continue to operate as an individual company, we expect the Del Rey sales team to greatly expand our reach into such markets as libraries and independent bookstores.”
