After a hugely successful launch
in New Zealand last October, Ant Sang's The Dharma Punks has
been in high demand - flying off shelves locally and attracting international
attention and demand for it to be more widely available. Here at Earth's
End Publishing we are very pleased to announce that thanks to the Nicolas Grivel Agency the foreign rights
for North America/UK and French editions of The Dharma Punks have
been secured.
Conundrum Press International have
announced they will release The Dharma Punks in North America
and the UK in trade paperback in September 2015 for $25 US. For more
information you can read their official press release HERE.
We can also reveal the
international rights for a French language edition have been
secured by Presque Lune, a fine French publishing house
whose website you can visit HERE. Currently in
production, a release date has yet to be confirmed.
Ant Sang recently returned from
attending the Taipei International Book Fair, where he was
also taking part in a graphic novelist residential
exchange between Taiwan and New Zealand. The opportunity
for his work to be widely available to an international audience means a great
deal to Sang, "I'm really excited about the upcoming release in the
US, UK and France. Since the Kickstarter campaign, things have happened
surprisingly quickly - and it's great Dharma
Punks is reaching an international audience after all these
years."
Both editions will also feature a
new introduction from Dylan Horrocks, author of the recent internationally
acclaimed graphic novel, Sam Zabel and the Magic Pen.
For
readers keen to discover the story right now, the first chapter of The Dharma
Punks is available for FREE as a digital download in PDF and CBZ format. For
