Rebellion Publishing Joins Forces with Lunar Distribution to Expand Reach
Reading time: 2 minutes
Rebellion Publishing, the home of 2000 AD and The Treasury of British Comics, have agreed a non-exclusive deal with Lunar Distribution to distribute our publications to the comic book Direct Market. This partnership unites Rebellion's extensive back-catalogue of classic and modern comics with Lunar's extensive distribution network.
The new partnership means that across the Summer, Rebellion will be sharing their core backlist with Lunar retailers for the first time. Ben Smith, Head of Film, TV and Publishing for Rebellion, says of the partnership, "We are thrilled to be working with Lunar and expanding the channels US comics stories can find our books in. Lunar have proven they are an invaluable addition to the Direct Market, now more than ever".
"We are excited to welcome Rebellion Publishing to the Lunar family, a name synonymous with high-quality storytelling and innovative comics," says Christina Merkler, Co-Owner, Lunar Distribution. "This collaboration allows us to expand our offerings and bring Rebellion’s diverse catalogue of graphic novels to our retail accounts. We are committed to supporting creators and publishers in delivering compelling narratives to comic fans around the world".
Starting with June's edition of the Lunar Catalogue, Rebellion products will be available for Lunar retailers for shipping in August 2025. This makes it easy for retailers around the world to add The Galaxy's Greatest Comics to their monthly purchases, and share characters including Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, The Trigan Empire and more with an international readership.
The initial line-up of titles available includes all six volumes of the bestselling Best of 2000 AD series, titles from the new reader-friendly Essential line, including Essential Judge Dredd and Essential Judge Anderson, as well as the Eisner-Winning book I Am The Law: How Judge Dredd Predicted The Future by Michael Molcher.
"This selection is highly curated to reflect the last five years we’ve spent reprinting 2000 AD crown jewels in definitive formats that last a lifetime", says Owen Johnson, Trade and Specialist Sales Manager for Rebellion. "Over the course of the Summer, every new reader has a perfect, accessible place to start creating their own library of the greatest British comics ever made, and each store can use these titles to build a crowd-pleasing 2000 AD section from scratch".
Rebellion titles will first be available as part of the June Lunar Catalogue, and monthly afterwards.
