We love graphic novels. We love to read them. We love to create them. We love to share them with the world. So we started this imprint with the simple mission to publish the finest quality graphic novels in all genres and for all ages. Our graphic novels include original stories, collections of comic book mini-series, and manga (both imported and domestic). As a natural extension of our core mission, we also publish children’s books, artwork collections, limited edition prints, and an eclectic array of other pictorial literature (pic-lit) in printed and digital formats. Our books are available in bookstores, comic book specialty shops, and online retailers worldwide. WHAT’S WITH THE KEY? The Freedom Key is our secondary logo. You’ll find it on the spine of all of our publications. It is symbolic of a primary tenet here at Department of Story: creative freedom. We don’t shackle writers and artists with corporate control over their creations. We don’t lock down ownership of their properties. So they are free to do what they do best…create. Freedom is awesome. HOME SWEET HOME
We’re located in the southeast corner of the state of New Hampshire, just minutes from America’s smallest seacoast yet less than an hour from the wilderness of the White Mountains. Life here is a fascinating brew of country living in historic New England spiced up with a progressive arts community and the youthful influence of the state university.
