IDW Publishing

IDW Publishing, or Idea and Design Works, LLC, quickly rose to fame with its top quality creator-owned comics and smart licensing properties. The horror comic, “30 Days of Night,” particularly propelled them up the surface of the comic book industry. IDW solidified sales by revitalising the Transformers, 24, Star Trek lines, GI Joe, Angel, and Terminator series.

As a small publisher, IDW caters to a good niche of readers giving IDW the ability to compete with the big players in the industry. Founded in 1999, IDW was named Publisher of the Year Under 5% Market Share for 2004 through 2006 and as the fifth largest American comic book publisher by Diamond Comic Distributors.
