The move comes less than a year after DSTLRY dropped Lunar and went with Diamond as their exclusive distributor to both channels. (see “Exclusive: DSTLRY Goes with Diamond as Sole Distributor”). Asked if DSTLRY will continue with Diamond, Marketing Director Sean Edgar told ICV2 “We’re consolidating our distribution to PRH.”
“DSTLRY is a premium brand and Penguin Random House is a premium partner,” said DSTLRY Co-Founder & CEO David Steinberger in a statement accompanying the announcement. “With Penguin Random House, and the continued support of comic and bookstores, we’ll collectively be able to capitalize on opportunities as the DSTLRY library grows."
