World renowned publishers Dark Horse, Humanoids, Valiant and Impact Theory will join over 500 other publishers and content creators already active on the platform, adding to Graphite's existing library of over 25,000 comic books, webtoons, webcomics and manga.

"At Dark Horse, we are always interested in reaching new readers. Graphite's technology and approach to the digital subscription space are unique, and I've been impressed by Michael Eng and his team. We anticipate that working with Graphite will expand our readership greatly in the years to come," said Mark Bernardi, Dark Horse's Vice President of Trade and Digital Sales.
