Image Comics
From Transformers Wiki
Image Comics is an American comic book publishing house founded on February 1, 1992 by a clique of disgruntled former Marvel Comics artists, including the likes of Jim Lee, Whilce Portacio and Rob Liefeld, who set it up to obtain better terms for their individual comic studios, such as WildStorm and Top Cow. Lee and Liefeld eventually forfeited their ownership in Image in the late 90s with Lee's WildStorm being sold to DC Comics, but a decade later Robert Kirkman would fill that void. The company is currently based in Portland, Oregon since 2017.
It is best known for publishing comic titles such as Spawn, Savage Dragon, Witchblade, Youngblood, The Darkness, Invincible, The Walking Dead, Saga, Jupiter's Legacy, Radiant Black, and Hack/Slash. Image itself does not own any intellectual properties aside from the company's name and logos.
Devil's Due Press published through Image until 2003, when it began publishing directly.
After nearly two decades since the days of Devil's Due, Image commenced publishing comics based on both the Transformers and G.I. Joe franchises through their Skybound Entertainment imprint in 2023.
