Image Comics turns 35 in February 2027, celebrating three and a half decades of independent comics.
Image Comics is planning a number of 35th Anniversary promotions, and the iconic image “i” logo (originally designed by co-founder Rob Liefeld) will adorn comics and trade paperbacks throughout the year.
Image will also take over shelves each month with a year-long Team-Up variant campaign highlighting a variety of Image Comics characters, both old and new, beginning in February with a line wide takeover of D’orc team-up covers celebrating the first anniversary of Brett Bean’s breakout hit character. Fans and retailers are advised to be on the lookout for more anniversary-related announcements, must-attend events, and celebrations as the industry rings in the New Year.
“When Image launched in 1992, there was no shortage of detractors and the general consensus was that it wouldn’t last,” said Eric Stephenson, Chief Creative Officer and Publisher at Image Comics. “Three and a half decades later, Image is bigger and better than ever, and it’s all thanks to the company’s ongoing commitment to publishing work owned and controlled by comics’ best talent. We look forward to celebrating that talent—past, present and future—over the course of the next year.”
Kat Salazar, VP of PR & Marketing at Image, added, “As Image heads into this momentous year we’ll be celebrating all the long running, beloved series that first put the company on the map alongside championing the new school of Image talent joining their ranks. We also have an array of new initiative announcements to spring on everyone—a few of which have even been years in the making and in response to many, many fan requests over time. We can’t wait to share more with you in the coming months!”
