FairSquare Comics is rebranding and adding a new imprint to publish adult material, the company announced. The company’s new name is FairSquare Graphics, but the mission of the company, to celebrate immigrant and minority voices, continues. New manga-inspired French titles (manfra) and manhua volumes are planned.
The company has added Horny Dolphin as a new imprint for licensed and original NSFW titles, also focusing on immigrant and minority voices. The first title in the new line is planned for this fall.
FairSquare was founded in 2019 by former Humanoids Senior Editor Fabrice Sapolsky, Kristal Adams, and Ethan Sapolsky, and signed with Diamond Book Distributors in 2021 (see “Diamond Book Signs FairSquare“). It has released over 40 titles since launch; the anthology Noir Is the New Black has sold out an initial printing of 7,000 copies and three additional printings (see “FairSquare Reveals the Numbers“).
