Comic Book Trivia

Comic FedEx

We might know the biggest comic book publishers, but we probably don’t think about how comics are actually shipped. Diamond Distributors began in 1982 and has since developed a monopoly on comic book distribution in the US. While this may work for the bigger publishers, such as Marvel or Image, it can make distribution for any independent publishers difficult. Diamond’s monopoly also gives it a say in what titles continue to ship and what titles get canceled. In 1997, The Department of Justice actually launched a three-year investigation into the monopoly but deemed it lawful since it only affected comic books.
