American Mythology Returns To The Direct Market Through Prana & Lunar

American Mythology Productions returns to direct market comic book shops through Prana and Lunar Distribution for their 10th anniversary

Comic book publisher American Mythology Productions was founded in 2016 and has carved out a niche in licensed horror while expanding into family-friendly licensed comics and Edgar Rice Burroughs pulp adventures. Including Fright Night, Return of the Living Dead, Hatchet, Silent Night, Deadly Night, Valentine Bluffs Massacre, The Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Pink Panther, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Underdog, The Land That Time Forgot, Carson of Venus, Pellucidar, The Moon Maid and more. Hit by the Diamond Comic Distributors bankruptcy, and part of the Ad Hoc Committee Of Consigned Publishers, American Mythology has partnered with Prana Publishers through Lunar Distribution starting with the current catalogue for June 2026, for their 10th anniversary

"Reaching our 10th anniversary is both humbling and energizing," said James Kuhoric, President of American Mythology, former Bleeding Cool EIC, and former Diamond Director Of Purchasing. "The past year presented unprecedented challenges for publishers across the industry, but it also gave us the opportunity to refocus and rebuild. We're excited to return stronger than ever, with an expanded slate of titles and a renewed commitment to our retail partners and fans." "We're thrilled to be working with American Mythology at such a pivotal moment in their history," said Atom Freeman of Prana: Direct Market Solutions. "Their catalog of licensed horror properties is second to none, and we're looking forward to helping reintroduce their full line to comic book retailers and building excitement around what's coming next."

And it begins with Return Of The Living Dead, Catching Hell, Three Stooges, Silent Night and The Legend Of La Rosa Blanca in American Mythology Productions' June 2026 solicits and solicitations

(W) James Kuhoric, S.A. Check (A) Emanuele Tommarelli (CA) Roy Allan Martinez
Eternal horror fan favorite, the one and only Reggie Bannister of PHANTASM fame comes crashing into American Mythology Comics with a chip on his shoulder and a bag full of one-liners, delivered as only the immortal blue-colored bad ass can in the company's new original horror comic– CATCHING HELL! Reggie ain't no superhero, he's just a guy dealt a bad hand by fate, and instead of folding, he comes out swinging. Armed with grit, scars, and a lifetime of bad decisions, Reggie works as a Hell-Tracer, hunting down renegade demons that have slipped through society's cracks. It's loud. It's brutal, and funny in a way only true horror fans will understand. Mixing the best of grindhouse and midnight movies, you won't find any monsters who sparkle here. Best of all, a portion of the proceeds of the book will go directly to supporting Reggie's current health care costs, so you're not only getting a kick ass story, but you're giving back to a horror industry icon. Go to Hell — just don't get caught!
