Magma Comix Resurfaces As An Independent Publisher

Magma Comix Resurfaces As An Independent Publisher

Imprint Magma Comix is forging a new path independent of legendary magazine Heavy Metal.

Originally founded in 2020 by industry veteran Denton J. Tipton (IDW Publishing, Opus Comics), the newly minted comic book publisher is dedicated to the belief in the value of creativity and also recognizes that it all starts with the creator.

“We are fortunate to have secured funding that will ensure Magma will maintain its creative freedom and independence, while providing capital and support necessary to establish long-term stability in an unpredictable industry,” said Magma Comix Founder and CEO, Denton J. Tipton. “Magma will lower the barriers to entry by making our line easy to navigate and by reducing risk for our retail partners. But above all, our team’s unique combination of creator relationships, industry knowledge, and passion for storytelling will unleash a creative eruption that we hope sets a new standard for comics.”

Magma Comix creators will be given a fair and transparent deal with advance royalties, as well as first-look deals with partners to be revealed. The publisher will offer direct market support through a multi-distributor approach with simple, low-risk ordering for retailers, with a limited number of variant covers and returnability. The catalog will feature new and original fiction for mature audiences.

The company launches with a team of industry veterans, including Editor-in-chief Bobby Curnow, Sales and Marketing Manager Joel Elad (IDW, Top Cow), and Operations Manager Mike Ford (IDW). Jeff Webber of The Webber Agency will represent the publisher for international sales and licensing.

Magma Comix will announce projects in the coming months with legendary creators and talented newcomers, along with an innovative program to help all creators get published.

To learn more, check out the Magma Comix Resurfaces! panel at San Diego Comic-Con International, Friday July 21, 7:00-8:00 PM in Room 4. Come meet the team and find out which of your favorite creators will be involved!

Magma Comix can also be found on Twitter for the latest updates.
