Missed It: Retrofit Announces 2015 Line-Up + Subscription Drive

imageThe small alt-/arts-comics publisher Retrofit comics announced the 2015 line last week: an ambitious line-up in multiple format featuring the work of 12 creators. Those creators are:

* Box Brown
* Josh Burggraf
* Sophie Franz
* Laura Knetzger
* Laura Lannes
* Kate Leth
* Andrew Lorenzi
* Matt Madden
* Maré Odomo
* Yumi Sakugawa
* Olivier Schrauwen
* Steven Weissman

While the bulk of the creators will be featured as spotlight artists, Burggraf's contribution will as the editor of an anthology called Future Shock.

Retrofit also announced the details of their subscription program, which is generally a key thing for small publisher due to issues of capital allocation and setting print runs.

A print subscription to the 12 books will be $75. A discounted print subscription can be had through February 20 with use of code "EARLYBIRD." A digital subscription is also available for $35.

Shipping on print to the US is free; Australia/Canada/Mexico/NZ/UK $12; otherwise $36.

A 2014 book sent to the buyer or to a friend will also be included.

The first two books up are Mowgli's Mirror from Schrauwen and Drawn Onward from Matt Madden. They've also announced that Weissman's contribution, more than 100 pages in length, will arrive for San Diego Comic Con. Brown's contribution, not scheduled, will be a collection called An Entity Observers All Things. Most of the releases will be in conjunction with comic arts festivals.

This is the company's fifth year in existence. More information here.
