Editor Sarah Gaydos Joins as New Projects are Announced

 

Press Release

Though it’s not yet halfway over, 2013 has already been a banner year for IDW Publishing. In addition to the announcements of a slew of new projects over the last few months, America’s fourth-largest comics publisher is also continuing to expand as the beloved Artist’s Edition line joins Yoe Books and The Library of American Comics as its own imprint. IDW has also seen huge success with the IDW Limited line and announced at C2E2 2013 their status as the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund’s newest Corporate Member.

“April’s numbers show that IDW accounted for 7.5% of the market share in the direct market,” said Publisher and CEO Ted Adams. “That’s the highest percentage we’ve reached as a company so far and we’re looking forward to trying to beat it. We’ve got a dedicated staff and an exciting slate of books on our side, so we’re excited to welcome a strong new Editor in Sarah Gaydos and continue growing even more.”

Gaydos is an industry veteran, having spent six years at WildStorm and DC Comics working on titles like Batman: Li’l Gotham, Django Unchained, Young Justice, and Smallville, among many others.

“We’re very pleased Sarah’s joining the team,” said Chris Ryall, IDW’s Chief Creative Officer/Editor-in-Chief. “Sarah is gonna hit the ground running and work on both big, established properties as well as develop new projects, and I know that her work experience and positive attitude will benefit those titles and the company as a whole, too.”

"I’m very excited to join the IDW team! Working at WildStorm studios in La Jolla was the best comics education anyone could ask for,” said Gaydos. “I learned from some of the best editors around, and was able to run down the hall to watch top artists and production artists hard at work. I’m grateful for the time I spent there, and am absolutely looking forward to using these skills at IDW in my new position as Editor. I’m eager to work with awesome talent on exceptional titles."

With an expanding Editorial department comes an expanding slate of titles. Over the last few months, IDW has announced exciting titles like LOCKE & KEY: ALPHA, BLACK DYNAMITE, ROCKY & BULLWINKLE, MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN, STAR TREK: AFTER DARKNESS, POWERPUFF GIRLS, SAMURAI JACK, and many, many more.

It’s a good time to be a comics reader as titles for every conceivable fan hit the shelves, and IDW is proud to be leading the charge and making sure no reader goes comic-less!
