Greg Zura Leaves Fantagraphics Books

Long-time Fantagraphics sales director has announced his departure from the alt-comics publisher to take up another, unnamed position at a non-comics company. Zura has been with Fantagraphics since 1996, starting in their sales and order departments before eventually moving (literally) upstairs in the company to his current position.

Along with marketing coordinator Eric Reynolds, Zura served as one of the more prominent secondary faces for the company in its dealings with distributors and stores, as well as at public functions like Book Expo America. With a decade-plus tenure, Zura, along with folks like Reynolds and owners Kim Thompson and Gary Groth, has been one of the longtime employees with his mittens on the bumper of that company as they've driven through the brutal late-'90s snow drifts of of distributor madness and rampant store closings and into the more genteel, well-paved current period marked by a solid bookstore distributor relationship with WW Norton and high production value successes like their Complete Peanuts series. I don't know anyone that doesn't like Greg.

According to Eric Reynolds, Jason T. Miles will assume Zura's responsibilities and position at the company.
