COMICON.com PULSE - Chris Ware to self-publish ACME (no, not acne, ACME)



Chris Ware, the award-winning cartoonist behind the groundbreaking alternative comic book series The ACME Novelty Library, has reached an agreement with longtime publisher Fantagraphics Books to become his own publisher on the popular title with its 16th issue.

Under the arrangement, Ware will pay the book's printing bill and work directly with the printer on all matters, but employ Fantagraphics to distribute the comics, an agreement which will include standard marketing assistance such as the appearance of any book-formatted issues of the series in Fantagraphics' catalog for W.W. Norton. Ware has also arranged for the book to be stored by his former publisher. (more at top link)
