MARVEL SETS UP DISTRIBUTION
Marvel Comics has announced that, effective Sept. 1, Marvel books will be sold and distributed into the worldwide book market by the Hachette Book Group.
Marvel has also announced an agreement with Diamond Comics Distributor to extend its exclusive Direct Market Service Agreement.
"Teaming with Hachette allows us to even more aggressively grow our presence in the book market, exposing new readers to Marvel's great library of characters and stories. With Hachette's overwhelming success in the book market, we can't imagine a better partner as Marvel looks to expand its presence in the book market," said David Gabriel, Marvel senior vice president of sales and circulation.
Ken Michaels, Hachette COO said, "We're thrilled to be partnering with Marvel. Hachette's world-class distribution and broad sales reach, combined with Marvel's outstanding brand and product line, is sure to be a powerful combination."
On Marvel extending its relationship with Diamond, Gabriel said, "Diamond Book Distributors has been very instrumental in the growth of our graphic novel business, nearly tripling our sales in the book market over the last five years, and we thank them for their efforts. The decision to switch book market distributors was a very difficult one but as evidenced by the extension of our Direct Market agreement, our working relationship with Diamond remains very close. We remain extremely appreciative of our Direct Market retailers and continue to grow that vital market."
