EASY PEASY. LET'S GET STARTED!

Band of Bards is an independent publisher of comics and graphic novels based in Buffalo, NY. We support creator-owned IP, and we are committed to publishing stories with a focus on Representation, Inclusion, and Diversity. 

The landscape of the comic industry is changing, and we want to be there help our retail partners navigate this evolution as seamless and easily as possible. Currently we are offering direct sales to partner stores via our Retailer Partnership program

We are also are trying our best to make it as easy as possible for your store to order direct. There are so many different places you have to order from now, (no joke, it's out of control.) As a smaller indie pub there is only so much we can do, but we are trying our best to take all of these challenges into consideration.
