Dark Horse ComicsMedia Release -- Dark Horse has partnered with Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley to make 20 titles available a month to reviewers, bloggers, librarians, booksellers and media professionals!

While there are currently 100 publishers using this service, Dark Horse will be one of the first comics publishers to participate. By making its titles available for instant access in the NetGalley catalog, Dark Horse hopes to reach as wide an audience as possible, combining current reach with NetGalley's massive membership of over 26,500 professional readers.

NetGalley allows Dark Horse to offer full-color, illustrated graphic novels—and digital press kits (including book trailers, audio and video files, press materials, images, etc)—all in a central location. Those with approved access will be able to download secure galley files to read on their computers and other preferred platforms, including the iPad.

"Dark Horse has a proud tradition of innovation and we're pleased to work with another innovator—NetGalley—to make early reading copies of our titles available to reviewers, booksellers, librarians and our partners in the media around the world," said Micha Hershman, VP of Marketing at Dark Horse.

There is no charge for professional readers to register and use the site, and we encourage all of our partners in the media and book trade to sign up today at www.netgalley.com.
