There's a better way to publish your comic book

Through vibrant panels filled with creative illustration and dialogue, comics bring our wildest dreams to life and tell stories of heroes, villains, and everyone in between. As a comic book author or illustrator, you're an expert in visual storytelling and character development. Self publishing a comic book creates the opportunity for others to step inside your captivating world.

Retain rights with self publishing at BookBaby. With traditional publishing, you run the risk of losing the rights to your work. Instead, when you self publish a comic book with BookBaby, you'll keep full creative control of the fantastic story you worked hard to conceptualize. It doesn't matter if your protagonist is a powerful superhero or a relatable average Joe — BookBaby is here to help every type of cartoonist bring their comics to fruition.

While comic books pack a punch, most have low page counts, especially compared to graphic novels. The brevity of each comic is what makes it so special, and it's proof that good things come in small, but mighty packages. BookBaby understands the importance of quality comic book printing and we'll print your comic book on premium paper stock. But we don't just print — we'll help you sell your comics, too. Through Print On Demand distribution, independent comic book authors gain access to the world's largest distribution network, allowing your comic book to be sold worldwide.

BookBaby supports your comic book journey. We believe that self publishing doesn't mean doing it yourself. Our Publishing Specialists will help you through every step of the way, and we'll support your comic book for its lifetime. It's really that easy: You write a comic book, then we'll do the rest. Leave the heroic effort to us.
