DC Promotional Comics

The Graphic Way To Present Your Marketing Message

Comics, once intended solely for entertainment, can now combine that value with the essentials of marketing. When text and illustration are locked in storytelling form, they deliver a persuasive selling message that is clear, succinct, and completely irresistible. No one can pass up a comic strip.

Comic story line and art development are DC's business. From conceptual stages right through research, copy, art, production, and print, we can evolve a promotional comic exactly for your needs.

Designed Exclusively For You By DC Comics

Promotional comics are effective as premiums, direct mail enclosures, point-of-sale giveaways, recruiting tools, instructional guides, and conveyors of public service messages. The comic strip form makes information instantly accessible. It is also one of the best ways to communicate with people whose primary language is other than English.
