We have a lot of love for Aspen Comics here at SG2M, so we were thrilled when they announced earlier today that they have acquired the exclusive publishing rights for the entire library of fellow Indy comic publisher Big Dog Ink. Owner/publishers Tom and Kim Hutchinson will continue to be the creative backbone for Big Dog Ink’s original titles. In addition to BDI’s catalogue of past titles, BDI will be moving forward as an exclusive imprint of Aspen Comics. With this deal, BDI will have access to a broader customer base at retail and digital levels and will also have a place at Aspen’s online store, as well as a now larger convention scene presence.


Big Dog Ink was started in 2009 by Tom and Kim Hutchinson with titles such as Penny For Your Soul, Legend of Oz: The Wicked West (which has consistently found its way into the “Diamond Top 300” list), and Critter to name a few. Fans of BDI’s books, myself included, will agree that the company has seen a lot of growth over the years due to their quality of art and well written and entertaining stories. The two companies have planned a reprint release of their existing books beginning in spring 2015 with Shahrazad #1.
