Night Owl is a new publisher looking to shake things up in the book market. Founded by a group of professional screenwriters and web media experts, the company is producing the next generation of premium comic books and graphic novels. We then maximize the value of these branded properties by extending them across multiple media platforms, including movies, TV, and video games.
Night Owl focuses on books for mature readers within the horror, science fiction, and action genres. Sorry, no spandex-clad superheroes here. You got Marvel and DC for that stuff.
We’re positioning Night Owl as a premium brand in the marketplace. All of our properties feature high-concept, character-driven stories and full-color cinematic artwork by top creators and newly discovered talent. The books reflect the vision of a single creator rather than an assembly line of work-for-hire writers forced to follow old formulas dictated by bottom-line corporate editors. Our writers and artists are creating original and attention-grabbing works that will appeal to not only comic book fans, but also mainstream fiction readers who don't normally read comics.
Finding good artists is not easy today. In fact, it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack. It requires time, energy, and perseverance. Over the last year, we’ve worked hard to recruit and nurture a roster of talented young creators. We team them up with A-list comic book pros to fully develop their skills.
The reason we go through all this extra effort is because we believe quality still matters in this world. When comic books are done well, they are a legitimate form of art, and we want to give our customers the very best product we can.
At the end of the day, we’re fans and geeks ourselves. We love comic books, movies, and video games (when they don’t suck ☺). Our goal is to create something exceptional that will captivate the minds of our readers and leave a lasting impression.
Night Owl aims to build a library of intellectual properties that have the universal appeal necessary to compete in both the American and international markets. In a brave new world of Internet-based entertainment where the global market is always hungry for the next hot thing, Night Owl will deliver exciting high concepts via a bold new business model.
The company is focusing most of its efforts on digital publishing and new distribution outlets. We utilize the latest Web 2.0 technologies and multiple media platforms to reach out to a much broader audience than traditional comic book publishers currently do.
