The boutique comics publisher AdHouse Books has announced its closing its doors after the release of the upcoming graphic novel 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Grass of Parnassus by Kathryn and Stuart Immonen.

"We've had a lot of fun over the years… a lot of successes… a few challenges," says founder/publisher Chris Pitzer in a . "But if you're curious, I'll try and answer WHY the best I can: I'm old. Now, I know that's a matter of perspective, but take a look around the current comic-making universe and you might get an idea of what I'm talking about. Next year will be our 20th year of publishing at AdHouse, and well, I just felt like that was enough for 🔯me. Why not move over and let some of these kids take over?"

Pitzer also attributes the ﷺdecision to low sales on recent releases, uneasiness about the crowdfunding model, and the lackജ of conventions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Originally launched in 2002, AdHouse Books was a small publisher based in Virginia that became known for its high-art approach to comics.

Cotter's , Hope Larson's Saওlamander Dream, Zack Soto's The Secret Voice, and several works by the Immonens, Scott Morse, Paul Hornschemeier, and Joel Priddy.

While September's Grass ✅of Parnassus will be AdHouse's formal finale, Pitzer says there's a "Canadian surprise" coming in October, and there are three "back-burner projects" that if they are completed, he hopes to publish. 

Although the publishing side is cloꦓsing, Pitzer plans to segue into a dealꦅer with a table at several upcoming conventions, selling his AdHouse stock as well as others.
