Lions, Tigers and Bears, the hit all-ages comic book series, is moving from Image Comics to Alias Enterprises. Written by Mike Bullock and illustrated by Jack Lawrence, Lions, Tigers and Bears has sold out all three of its initial releases under the Image banner, however retailers will find the first Lions, Tigers and Bears trade paperback, which collects the first four issues of the comic in a 112-page full color edition, listed in the Alias Enterprises section of Diamond's May Previews.
Alias Enterprises and Runemaster Studios will release the Lions, Tigers and Bears trade in July with a cover price of just $9.95, which should be good news for retailers looking for an all-ages graphic novel collection with break-out potential. Lions, Tigers and Bears is one of the bona fide hits of 2005 and has been compared with HeroBear and the Kid, another strong-selling contemporary all-ages comic book series.
