Alien Books, the NY-based comics publisher that has partnered with Valiant Entertainment to produce new Valiant Comics, has brought Manny Castellanos on board to manage Sales and Operations for its entire line of comics, manga, and graphic novels.

Manny Castellanos joins the team at Alien Books after previously working in the sales departments at Mad Cave Studios and BOOM! Studios, where he collaborated with distribution partners like Diamond Comic Distributors and engaged with direct market retailers to help drive orders of monthly releases and address their ongoing needs.

Castellanos joins just in time as September will see the release of two major titles from Alien Books in comic shops: Resurgence of the Valiant Universe #1 and Black, White & Bloodshot #1.
