2004 is the year that AdHouse decided they were spineless.
After two years of creating books with spines (aka trade paperbacks), AdHouse has made the decision to publish in the traditional comic book format (aka "floppies", "pamphlets" or "comics").
Current plans are to have three saddle-stitched comics debut within the year.
Those comics are:
- The AdHouse Books FREE Comic Book Day Comic Book.
A 32-page themed comic with stories by Joel Priddy and Scott Morse.
-
Return of the Elephant by Paul Hornschemeier.
A 48-page comic that tells an eerily quiet story of a solitary man and the ulterior motives involved in a visit from a longtime friend of the family.
-
One Step After Another by Fermin Solis.
A 40-page comic imported from the alternative comics movement happening in Spain.
When asked about this format decision, publisher Chris Pitzer elaborated, "Although this goes against the current industry trends, the decision to do 'traditional' comics was an easy one. First and foremost was the chance to work with the talented creators involved with these projects."
Look for the first of these comics in July with the release of The AdHouse Books FREE Comic Book Day Comic Book on July 3rd.
