Lunar Distribution to Begin Distributing Archie Comics Beginning May 2025

ARCHIE COMICS SIGNS WITH LUNAR DISTRIBUTION

New partnership gives retailers an additional option for stocking Archie's line of comic books, digests, and graphic novels 

Archie Comics has signed a deal with Lunar Distribution to distribute its publications to the comic book Direct Market. The new partnership is in addition to Archie's existing relationship with Diamond Comic Distributors. Archie titles will go live with Lunar on March 21, 2025 for product shipping in May 2025.

The move is a response to Diamond's declaration of Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January. In a letter to retailers sent this week, Archie said, "While we value our decades-long partnership with Diamond, and sincerely hope that they pull through this in time, we've also been fielding questions, and requests for an alternate distribution channel."  

While comic shops can continue ordering Archie products from Diamond, all Archie single issues, digests, and graphic novels will be available from Lunar, as well. Retailers who have questions about stocking Archie Comics titles can reach out at info@archiecomics.com.
