David Gabriel Joins Marvel Comics’ Publishing Staff
Marvel Comics has announced the addition of David Gabriel to its
growing publishing staff. Gabriel has joined Marvel as Manager, Sales
Administration, Publishing; where he'll work to establish and maintain
relationships with Marvel Comics buyers, retailers, and vendors in the bookstore
and specialty markets, as well as identifying and establishing new markets for
Marvel comic books and graphic novels.
A veteran of the comic book industry, Gabriel is founder of the New York City Comic Book Museum, a non-profit organization established in 1999 to preserve the historical and artistic legacy of comic book culture, and to promote preservation, literacy, education, and entertainment through comics.
“I'm extremely excited by this opportunity to work for Marvel Comics,” said Gabriel. “My father always said, 'Reading those comic magazines will get you nowhere.' Oh, how times have changed.
“Now that the influence of comic books on popular culture is at an all-time high, there isn't a more exciting and important time to work for Marvel. I think my tag line when I meet with buyers is simply going to be, 'Have you been to the movies lately?'”
