Steve White Has Left Titan Comics For Hachette
I first encountered the name Steve White when I was a teenager.
He was the editor of the letters pages for the Marvel UK reprints of The Punisher comic book. And frankly it was the letters page I was buying the comic for. While the comics were the hardcore nineties Punisher without a trace of irony, the letters pages were the cries of a man, seemingly trapped editing a comic book he would really rather not. And finding an escape through, basically, insulting the teenagers who identified with the Punisher a little too much. Instead, I identified with Steve.
Of late he has been senior editor at Titan. When I say "of late" I mean since 2003. That's thirteen years. Previously mostly publishing genre magazines, and Marvel and DC reprints, he has in recent years overseen their original comic book line flourish, and going toe to toe with the likes of Boom and IDW for licensed and original titles, from Doctor Who to Assassins Creed to The Blacklist all from rather unassuming offices near Waterloo station in London.
Well, not any more. Instead, Steve White has left his publisher of thirteen years standing and taken a senior editor position at book publisher Hachette in North London, working on their partwork section… Which, yes, means reprints of Marvel Comics again, but this time in hardcover – and plenty more besides, including the recent How To Draw The Marvel Way series and Doctor Who: The Complete History. And tonight was the first time I'd seen him since the move.
And it was a different Steve in the pub last night. Happy, relaxed, bursting into peals of unexpected laughter, he reminded me of Bob Wayne. Now.
Congratulations Steve. I'll buy you a drink next time I see you. And of course the first drink will be half price while the second drink will come with a free binder…
