Diamond Comic Distributors has acquired exclusive distribution rights for Lion Forge comics and graphic novels to both the comic book specialty and book markets worldwide, the companies announced.  The deal includes comic stores, book stores, mass-market merchandisers, libraries, and other outlets. 

Lion Forge is currently soliciting for the first issue of its new title tied to the 80s toy brand Madballs (see “Exclusive Preview:  ‘Madballs’ #1”).

Diamond has “proven to be the perfect partner for our efforts to make our comics available to everyone,” Lion Forge CEO David Steward II said of the deal.
