Diamond Comic Distributors has signed a multi-year deal with Benitez Productions to be the exclusive distributor of the publisher’s comics and graphic novels. The agreement includes worldwide distribution rights into comic book specialty stores, and into bookstores, libraries, mass-market chains, and other specialty outlets under the banner of Diamond’s book market division, Diamond Book Distributors.

As publisher of some of the best-selling independent creator-owned comics in the industry, Joe Benitez has been self-publishing with Benitez Productions since 2014. Lady Mechanika and Wraithborn have been the publisher’s flagship titles, meeting with both critical and commercial success. Last month saw the release of Lady Mechanika: La Dama De La Muerte #1, which ranked as the #5 best-selling small press title for September.

In the October PREVIEWS catalog, retailers and fans can pre-order The Lady Mechanika Steampunk Coloring Book, an all ages coloring book featuring goggles, gears, and of course the elegantly dressed half-human half-machine Victorian heroine herself.
