Face Out: SLG Publishing

Slave Labor Graphics (SLG) Publishing was founded by Dan Vado in 1986 and over its 20-year history has remained true to its roots as a publisher of great diversity. The first publisher of such notable comic book artists as Evan Dorkin, Andi Watson and Gene Luen Yang, SLG has been known to be on the forefront of discovering and fostering new talent in the comics industry.

Publishing comics that are fun, smart and fresh, SLG books offer readers the opportunity to not only read entertaining stories told with excellent artwork but to encounter new voices and talents. Moreover, SLG’s Amaze Ink imprint features graphic novel titles intended for all ages and audiences.

With classic titles like It's Science with Dr. Radium by Scott Saavedra and Skeleton Key by Andi Watson, seminal works like Milk and Cheese and Dork by Evan Dorkin, early works like Gordon Yamamoto and Loyola Chin by National Book Award finalist Gene Yang and innovative new comics like Emo Boy by Steve Emond and the librarian-favorite Rex Libris by James Turner, SLG has proven its dedication to showcasing work that does not conform to easily defined types, genres or expectations.
