Cartoons Books Announces World Tour

The Cartoon Books team has announced the initial details of a world tour to promote the release of Bone color volumes in various international comics market. I think this is interesting enough to pull out because of what it reveals about the deal for the color books between Cartoon Books and North American publisher Scholastic. While Smith licensed the color rights to Scholastic starting in 2005, kicking off their high-profile comics efforts, Cartoon Books performed the coloring work in-house and kept the rights to sell the new iteration of Smith's fantasy series overseas through I believe a series of co-publishing relationships. The tour begins October 3 at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Smith will also do promotion for the Scholastic volumes in North America, including an appearance at the NY Comic-Con in February. Detailed information can be found here.

The press release further notes that Scholastic has sold over one million copies of their color editions.
