After 12 years of inactivity, Caliber Comics is returning. Founded by Gary Reed, Caliber was a major independent comics publisher in the 1990s. It suspended publishing in 2001 after 12 years.
Caliber Comics was a publisher that focused on creator owned properties and gave many creators their first opportunity to see their work published. Caliber was instrumental in launching the careers of Michael Allred, Guy Davis, Vince Locke, Ed Brubaker, Brian Bendis, Mike Perkins, David Mack, Dean Haspiel, Mike Carey, Jim Calafiore, Georges Jeanty, Patrick Zircher, and others.
Caliber Comics will be part of Caliber Entertainment, LLC. Caliber Entertainment was formed by Gary Reed and his partner, Eric Reichert, who is President of Eagle One Media.
“Caliber will continue with primarily creator owned titles,” said Reed, “and we have a number of releases lined up. Our focus will be graphic novels and/or collections of previously released material although we will have some original content as well.”
The company will both produce physical editions and make its content available digitally. Caliber will begin releasing new comics and converting its current library to digital in the next few months. A more detailed publishing schedule will be announced soon
