Joel Elad To Be IDW's Comic Store Whisperer, Announced At ComicsPRO
At ComicsPRO in Portland, IDW Publishing has named comic book online store manager Joel Elad as their new Direct Market Sales Manager. He will be the publisher's liaison to comic shop retailers as well as manage the company's retailer exclusive variant cover program. Elad comes to IDW from NewComix.Com, the company he co-founded in 1998.
He was also Director of Sales and Marketing for Top Cow Productions, and has consulted with comic book stores, publishers, and conventions, as an independent contractor for CGC.
He also co-founded the So Cal Comic Con, a one-day comic book and toy convention in the San Diego area. Currently, he is a Regional Advisory Board Member for the HERO Initiative, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping comic book creators in need.
And he has a beard a little like Bob Wayne's. Which is always a good thing.
