MAGNETIC PRESS is a subsidiary of Polarity Ltd that publishes graphic novels, art books, and periodicals curated with a focus on internationally recognized content and talent, presented with premium quality design and production value. The Magnetic brand was founded by Mike Kennedy in 2013 as the independent publishing company Magnetic Press, Inc, featuring creators both new and established from around the world, sharing their stories with an English-language audience often for the first time.

Their award-winning library includes such celebrated titles as the Love series of wordless wildlife graphic novels, as well as Eisner-nominated books A Sea of Love, Watersnakes, Herakles, Doomboy, A Glance Backward, Little Tails, The Ghost of Gaudi, and Dave Dorman’s Wasted Lands Omnibus. Magnetic has earned a total of 17 Eisner Award nominations in their first four-of-four years of eligibility. Magnetic also won the Gold Medal of Excellence in the graphic novel category of the 2015 Independent Publisher Awards for Love: The Fox.

When parent company Polarity Ltd acquired Oni Press in 2019, the decision was made to separate Magnetic from the consolidation of Oni and Lion Forge so that it could focus its strategy on its unique brand of quality content curated from around the world for an audience with a discerning eye for new styles and perspectives. Officially relaunched as of January 1st, 2020 from hometown Chicago, Magnetic is preparing a new slate of eye-popping titles and exciting new discoveries for readers of all ages and interests.

To the wonderful retailers interested in our catalog, please know that all of our celebrated titles are now available to order under the MAGNETIC PRESS listing (no longer under Lion Forge). Previous product codes should redirect automatically to the new ones to avoid any trouble placing new orders. We are looking forward to working with retailers on an individual basis to devise ways to promote your store as a destination for unique offerings and new discoveries. We believe that our titles can draw a consumer’s attention from across the room and then stick with them once they’ve opened the cover. Watch for some new and exciting initiatives and incentives to support your store soon.
