American comic book publisher
Slave Labor Graphics (SLG ) is an independent American comic book publisher , well known for publishing darkly humorous, offbeat adult comics. Creators associated with SLG over the years include Evan Dorkin , Roman Dirge , Sarah Dyer , Woodrow Phoenix , Jhonen Vasquez , and Andi Watson .
Company history [ edit ]
Slave Labor Graphics was started in 1986 by Dan Vado ,[1]
The first book Slave Labor Graphics published was ShadowStar #3, a female superhero character previously published independently by some of Vado's friends. The company's first wave of titles — Samurai Penguin , Barrabas , Lee Flea , and The Light — were all written by Vado, with art by a variety of creators.[1] Hero Sandwich and It's Science With Dr. Radium , were all created by friends of Vado's from high school.[citation needed
Slave Labor Graphics's first major success was Samurai Penguin #1 by Vado and Mark Buck,[1] [citation needed Other successes were Milk & Cheese anthropomorphic dairy products by Evan Dorkin , and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac Jhonen Vasquez . In this time period, comic book speculation was rampant, so Slave Labor Graphics was able to sell its entire print run of many titles. [citation needed However, at the end of the mid-1990s speculation bubble, some distributors went out of business without paying Slave Labor Graphics.[citation needed
In 1995, Slave Labor Graphics added a more genre-oriented imprint called "Amaze Ink" intended to be for all audiences;[2] [citation needed would still be published under the main "Slave Labor" imprint.
In 2005, Slave Labor Graphics entered into a partnership with The Walt Disney Company to produce comic book series based on some of its properties: Haunted Mansion Wonderland Tron Gargoyles [3] Little Gloomy (1999–2005), Kid Gravity (2003–2007), and The Super Scary Monster Show: Featuring Little Gloomy (2005–2007), appeared regularly in Disney Adventures [4]
In September 2008, SLG remodeled its lobby to be a smaller gallery/shop[5] [6] Art Boutiki ) as of 2014 December.[7]
In late 2010, Slave Labor Graphics established an independent record label entitled Slab Yard Sound Company .[8]
In January 2012, editor-in-chief Jennifer de Guzman, who had been with the company since 2001, left to become the PR and Marketing Director at Image Comics .[9]
