Officially confirming the drumbeats that had been ongoing for several weeks, Publisherâs Weekly today confirmed that Scholastic will launch its own graphic novel line aimed at both teens and younger readers called Graphix.
According to the report, the line will launch in the spring of 2005, and will be headlined by Jeff Smithâs Bone. According to sources, Scholastic will have the rights to reprint the series under its imprint for an extended period of time. Newsaram has learned that the Scholastic volumes will be in color, issued twice a year, and will be in a size reminiscent of manga trim. Other creators that Newsarama has learned to have been approached by Scholastic include Scott Morse, Jim Mahfood, and Christine Norrie.
Scholastic is the largest publisher of Childrenâs books, with roughly 750 titles seeing print each year. The company also runs several book clubs and book fairs, which reach over 35 million children, 40 million parents, and, according to the company, nearly every school in the United States, as well as numerous other countries.
