DC Entertainment readies new book imprints

Young adult and graphic novel imprints to launch in the UK this spring.

DC Entertainment is readying two new book imprints for launch in the UK this spring.

DC Ink and DC Zoom will be imprints for young adult and MG graphic novels, reports The Bookseller.

Both imprints will launch in April, with DC Zoom aimed at readers aged 8-12 and DC Ink targeting ages 13+.

“While the books will star popular DC characters, the stories will not necessarily fit the typical ‘superhero’ storytelling mold,” Michelle R Wells, vp of content strategy at DC, told The Bookseller. “We’ll see many of these superheroes and original characters as relatable middle school and high schoolers, dealing with the typical struggles and real world issues that young people face today.

“The stories we’re publishing in DC Ink and DC Zoom are varied, diverse and unique, but the one thing readers will find to be true across the board is that they are all, at the end of the day, stories of what it means to be a hero.”
