Dabel Brothers Join Marvel Family

Ptolus comic book series rescheduled for this fall

Marvel Comics announced Monday at the Diamond Retailers Summit in Baltimore that Dabel Brothers Productions is becoming a part of Marvel. This is great news for the Ptolus: City by the Spire comic book. Issue 1 was released early this summer, but the subsequent issues were put on hold pending the conclusion of the partnership deal.

The newly-named Marvel DBPro has announced a reprint of Ptolus: City by the Spire Issue 1 in October, followed by monthly releases of the remaining five issues of the series.

Here's what the Marvel Comics website has to say about the new partnership:

NEW YORK – Comic book studio Dabel Brothers Productions, LLC has joined forces with leading publisher Marvel Comics to adapt some of the most popular fantasy, science fiction and horror novels into comic books and graphic novels. Through the partnership, Marvel has signed on as the exclusive publisher for Dabel Brothers Productions, obtaining the marketing, print and distribution rights. The Dabel Brothers will continue to operate as an independent entity working with science-fiction, fantasy and horror authors on story development.

Marvel and The Dabel Brothers look to broaden their audience and the graphic fiction category by expanding literary favorites from a stable of bestselling authors into high quality comic books and graphic novels. While maintaining the integrity of the original stories, the medium hopes to attract new readers as well as loyal fans of the literary works with great storytelling and eye-catching artwork. (MORE)
