BEAU SMITH JOINS LIBRARY OF AMERICAN COMICS
Beau Smith, marketing advisor and writer, has joined IDW Publishing's
Library of American Comics imprint as its new Director of Marketing.
"We're thrilled to have Beau onboard," says LOAC Creative Director
Dean Mullaney. "He and I go way back to the 1980s and Eclipse Comics,
where I was the publisher and Beau the Marketing Director."
A graduate of Marshall University in his native West Virginia, Beau
has worked in all realms of publishing and marketing in comics. In
addition to Eclipse, where he got his start, Beau was the VP of
Marketing and Publishing for Image Comics, Todd McFarlane Productions
and McFarlane Toys. Beau was with IDW Publishing for many years as
their first Vice President of Marketing, and is the former Director of
Product Information for toy maker JUN Planning USA.
As a writer, Beau has written Batman/Wildcat, Star Wars, and
Wolverine, and his stories have appeared at DC, Image, IDW, Eclipse,
Dreamwave, Moonstone, Dark Horse, and many other publishers. He
created several well-received series, including Wynonna Earp, Parts
Unknown, Maximum Jack, Courting Fate, and Cobb. If that wasn't
enough, he offers his opinion on pop culture in regular columns:
"Busted Knuckles" at Comics Bulletin, and "From the Ranch" for Sketch
Magazine, and Far From Fragile for Impact Magazine. Beau is also the
author of the most common sense business book on the comic book
industry- No Guts, No Glory: How To Market Yourself In Comics
published by Blue Line Pro.
Beau will be focusing on retailers, and expanding the LOAC's presence
in libraries and universities, so all retailers, librarians,
professors, and teachers are encouraged to contact Beau at: beau@loacomics.com
