Founded in 2005 by Philly natives Joe Brusha and Ralph Tedesco, Zenescope Entertainment is quickly becoming one of the most recognized independent comic book and graphic novel publishers in the world. Their flagship title GRIMM FAIRY TALES, which is also written by Joe and Ralph, immediately found a strong audience and has certainly surpassed the expectations set by many industry insiders. At already more than 22 issues on shelves or in post production GRIMM is one of the longest running independent comic book series on the market today. Furthermore, the GRIMM FAIRY TALES Volume 1 Trade Paperback sold out of its 10,000 copy print run in just over a year, prompting a 2nd printing of the book while Volume 2 has sold close to 6,000 copies in less than 3 months. These are staggering numbers for an independent graphic novel.

In 2006, Zenescope launched a spin-off to their GRIMM series entitled RETURN TO WONDERLAND. This mini-series immediately became an even larger hit almost doubling GRIMM FAIRY TALES’ numbers and selling out of multiple first printings. Raven Gregory, Ralph Tedesco and Joe Brusha, the minds behind the RETURN series, continue to receive kudos for the quality and the success of the books.

In addition to GRIMM and RETURN, Zenescope has also worked with New Line Cinema, publishing 2 mini-series entitled SE7EN and FINAL DESTINATION. Both are based off of the popular films of the same names. SE7EN has received much critical acclaim and fan support and FINAL DESTINATION became an instant favorite with Zenescope’s core readers and also found a fan in CIRCUIT CITY who struck a deal to include a Zenescope comic in 80,000 Final Destination 3 DVDs sold exclusively in Circuit City locations.

In the past year Zenescope Entertainment has expanded its library to 7 titles and will continue to increase that number in 2008 and beyond by adding such series as WILLOW CREEK, THE PIPER, 1001 ARABIAN NIGHTS, HERBERT WEST: RE-ANIMATOR and a few others to be named.

Zenescope Entertainment has brought an edge and an exciting new feel to comics and we’re happy to have you on board with us!
