PWCW: Hill & Wang Launch GN Line

Publishers Weekly's Comics Week effort reported yesterday that non-fiction imprint Hill & Wang of publisher Farrar Straus & Giroux is starting a graphic novel imprint to be called Novel Graphics. Those involved include comics veterans Andy Helfer, Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon. Projects include biographies and histories. Calvin Reid does a nice job of tracing the various companies and corporations and deals that can be linked to Hill & Wang, including FS&G's distribution relationship with D&Q. I'd say it bears watching to see what traditional publisher/distributor issues develop down the line with these groupings, particularly once the honeymoon phase with all these line launches moves into more settled patterns of what really sells and where and how frequently.
