The heroes and heroines of Heroic Publishing are headed to the #1 digital comics service. Heroic, the California-based publisher of FLARE, CHAMPIONS, and others has been publishing since 1987 and is best known for their line-up of self-assured, sexy super-heroines. ComiXology is the leading distributor of digital comics in the United States, with a significant worldwide presence as well. To date, titles including ALTER EGO, CHAMPIONS, and CHRISSIE CLAUS have been approved for comiXology distribution. More of Heroic’s extensive library will roll out through Comixology in 2014. The first Heroic comic available, ALTER EGO #1 is priced at only 99 cents and is profiled in comiXology’s November promotional mailing. Created by legendary writer and editor Roy Thomas, with co-writer Dann Thomas and artist Ron Harris, ALTER EGO is the story of teenager Rob Lindsay, who finds a magic mask that transports him to a world where comic book super-heroes of the Golden Age are real. Reflecting Roy Thomas’ experience as a pioneer of comics fandom and as a writer Golden Age characters at Marvel and DC, the landmark series celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary in 2012 with a brand new issue (#5) which paid homage to the crime comics of the 1950s. “Heroic Publishing is all about true heroism. We present heroic characters who make the right choices when confronting genuine evil,” said publisher Dennis Mallonee. “So we’re definitely looking forward to working with comiXology to bring our entire line of comic book titles to a new generation of digital readers.” Heroic is represented for digital rights by licensing agency Grand Design Communications.
