In 2024 the CCBA made the decision to restructure with the goal of advancing more sources of education, creation, promotion, production and distribution of comics and graphic novels within Canada. With this goal in mind, we have begun partnering with Canadian businesses and institutions in various ways to offer more robust services to the CCBA and its members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the recent bankruptcy of the last remaining major comics distributor, publishers have begun looking for alternatives to get comics into the hands of readers. There are still book distributors who sometimes deal in comics, but they are focused mainly on the large established publishers, leaving new, smaller, or international (non-US) publishers in a bind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here in Canada, these hurdles, along with the rising cost of international shipping, have spurred publishers on to find creative ways to extend their work\u2019s reach outside of the former distribution channels. But most Canadian creators and publishers are left with zero options for local distribution outside of web-based sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is good news!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025 Studiocomix Press, in collaboration with SCPress, launched a Canadian option, The Great North Creators Catalog<\/strong>, <\/strong>to distribute Canadian content to Canadian Comic book stores. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning this month, Studiocomix Press is launching two exciting new options for CCBA members with a special discount plan<\/strong> on printing and special CCBA pricing<\/strong> for the Great North Creators Ultimate Self-Publishing Package!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
