Oni Press publisher James Lucas Jones, publisher, said “We have long known that our catalog appeals to a broader audience, so we have always worked to push the comic book medium beyond the direct market,” said “Working with Simon & Schuster’s incredible team, we are elated to bring our books to new readers, retailers, and libraries.”
