In addition, the publisher will release "certain titles from their extensive front list and back catalogue" on the platform in following months.

Talking about the partnership, ComiXology CEO David Steinberger said in an announcement that he has "long been a fan of Hernandez Brothers' work, and couldn't think of a better way to kick off our new relationship with Fantagraphics," adding that "there are many happy people in the comiXology offices today." Fantagraphics' associate publisher Eric Reynolds explained that the publisher had "been exploring out digital options for a few years now, and the more I learned, the more I kept coming back to ComiXology."
