NBM Publishing has been releasing graphic for 40 years making it one of the first, if not the first graphic novel publisher in America. Now for its 40th Anniversary NBM has unveiled a sleek new logo and has also made a key change in the organization of its releases by retiring the Comics Lit logo and folding those books into the regular NBM imprint. NBM’s adult graphic novel imprint, Eurotica, will remain independent and separate.
NBM’s publisher and founder Terry Nantier explained: "After many milestones over these decades helping to open up the general bookstore trade and people’s perception of what comics can be, here we are at 40 years of operation still bringing out some of the best European and US comics you can find… ComicsLit was an imprint we needed to launch over 15 years ago to distinguish our fiction line, but that’s much of what NBM stands for anyway today. We’re keeping things simple under one name and emphasizing our core mission all these years: publishing great graphic novels."
This year, NBM will release work from such talented artists and writers as Lewis Trondheim, Joann Sfar, David Prudhomme, Jirô Taniguchi, Sean Michael Wilson & Michiru Morikawa, Annie Goetzinger & Rodolphe, Stanislas, Nicolas Keramidas, A. Dan, and Maximilien Le Roy (see "NBM Publishing's 2016 Release Schedule").
