In his new position, Bollers will have an increased role in development of new projects, casting talent, and editing current and upcoming titles.

“The entire Valiant team is thrilled to have Karl in this expanded role,” said Executive Editor Joseph Illidge. “Karl’s passion for story, commitment to high quality, and his industry knowledge all speak to why his new role as Senior Editor is crucial for the future of Valiant. We can’t wait for you to see the new projects and creators he’s bringing to the table.”

Valiant hired Bollers in March as an Editor (see “Lion Forge, Valiant Hire Editors”). The Eisner-nominated Bollers has more than 20 years’ experience in the comic industry, including time as Associate Editor and Assistant Editor at Marvel Entertainment. He has written for Marvel, Archie, and Valiant.  He was nominated for an Eisner for Best New Series for New Paradigm’s Watson and Holmes series, along with artist Rick Leonardi (see "The 2014 Eisner Award Nominees").
