This week marks the full promotional launch of International Enterprise, representing the foreign licensing rights of comics and graphic novels to publishers all over the world. With a complete focus on the promotion and royalty negotiation of American comics and graphic novels, International Enterprise offers a diverse variety of critically-acclaimed titles to foreign publishers looking for their next best-selling import.

International Rights Manager Tim Hegarty brings 3 years of foreign licensing experience with Image Comics to the Enterprise table, along with contacts in territories all over the world.

"There is so much time and effort necessary to even produce a comic for domestic purposes, creators hardly have time to think about foreign licensing and the international royalties it can bring," Hegarty observes. "And not only are the creators missing out on that money, but a lot of good books that should be getting exposure all over the world aren't even getting seen by foreign publishers."

Hegarty utilizes his contacts and experience to bridge the gap between foreign publishers and creators, and bring them both more profits. The new year has been devoted to assembling a diverse and impressive collection of creators and properties sure to interest foreign publishers, with new titles being announced on the website several times a month. "We offer no risk to creators, and we're here for foreign publishers who are looking for that next big thing. Whether its action or comedy or fine art, we'll have a title for the unique tastes of readers in all territories."

International Enterprise's services have already captured the attention of some of the industry's biggest names and star creators, with their first three represented titles to be announced later today. With bold and innovative approaches to foreign licensing, the International Enterprise website (www.InternationalEnterprise.org) will be used for the majority of promotions and negotiations, offering exclusive artwork, interviews and announcements of new signings to the International Enterprise roster.

"Comics should be fun, and sometimes the business is so hectic we forget that," Hegarty adds. "The website will capture the fun that made us love comics in the first place. It will establish International Enterprise as the best place for foreign publishers to work with and find the comics they want."

International Enterprise is now representing the best in comics to publishers all over the world. The InternationalEnterprise.org website contains further information on their services, and new creators and titles are constantly being added to the International Enterprise family.
