Announcing: Balustrade Press
The publisher of Ignatz Award winner Shades of Fear is relaunching as a small press for original graphic novels!
After a decade of editing comics from the Shuster Award-winning anthology Wayward Sisters to Chip Zdarsky’s Eisner winner Public Domain, Balustrade Press publisher Allison O'Toole is excited to expand the work she started on Shades of Fear.
New graphic novels will be produced with the same ethos as the anthology: creators with bold, unique visions telling stories that are aimed at adult readers and aren't tied to traditional genre molds and conventions. We want to make comics that are excited to be comics--the harder they would be to adapt to other media, the better!
Our first slate of books will be published in 2026, funded via Kickstarter in 2025. We can't wait to share more about the comics we're working on!
