Vault Comics and Aethon Books are excited to announce a new partnership to publish titles across the comic book and graphic novel and ebook and audiobook categories. Vault Comics is an acclaimed publisher of science fiction, fantasy, and horror comics, known for hit series like Barbaric, Heathen, The Plot, and Money Shot, as well as its previously announced Headshell imprint, through which it publishes graphic novels in partnership with iconic recordings artists like Metallica, Def Leppard, the Beach Boys, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Redman, Slash, and more. One of the fastest growing publishers in North America, Aethon Books is a leading publisher of science fiction and fantasy ebooks and audiobooks, known for bestselling titles such as He Who Fights With Monsters, Defiance of the Fall, Primal Hunter, and Drop Trooper.
The partnership will see Aethon publish ebook and audiobook adaptations and tie-ins of titles from the Vault library, while Vault will publish comic book and graphic novel adaptations and tie-ins of titles from the Aethon library. First publications from the partnership are tentatively planned for 2024.
“We can’t imagine better folks to partner with to expand our catalog into ebook and audiobook publishing than the team at Aethon. They have redefined what’s possible as an independent publisher in their category. As a devoted audiobook listener myself, I am particularly excited to offer Vault fans everywhere new ways to experience the storyworlds they love through audiobooks and ebooks,” said Vault CEO, Damian Wassel. “I am equally excited to bring key Aethon titles and series to life in the comic book medium.”
“Working with Vault is a dream come true,” said Aethon Co-owner and COO Steve Beaulieu. “When meeting with their team, it’s as if looking into a mirror and seeing the same excitement for comics, music, and the genres that for us, are life itself. We look forward to many years together, producing the highest quality Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and beyond.”
