Diamond Book Distributors will exclusively distribute Laguna Studios products to North American and international book markets. Distribution to the comic book specialty market is handled exclusively by Diamond Comic Distributors.
Laguna Studios is a woman-owned independent comic book and graphic novel publisher founded in 2023 by multiple creators with long experience in the independent publishing and art industries. They aim to produce, print, and publish high-quality comics and create a platform for voices that may otherwise go unheard.
Among its works are Finding Dee, a collection of comic strips by Dee Fish about a cartoonist discovering herself as a transgender woman; the Sturgeon postapocalyptic western series; the Cthulhu Is Hard to Spell anthology series steeped in the mythology; and Gods of Lovecraft, featuring dozens of stories.
"Working with Diamond is a dream come true for me," said co-founder Laurie Foster. "The opportunity for our books to be in stores, read by a whole new audience, and to collaborate with them to expand our reach and knowledge is the next step to evolve our company and creative process, too."
