A preview of AdHouse Books' upcoming graphic novel FCHS is available for iPhone and iPod Touch devices as a digital pre-release via the Comics by comiXology app, it has emerged.
The book, described as "Archie meets 90210", is the first to be given a free digital preview ahead of its print release. The sampler will be available throughout the Diamond pre-ordering period. Customers will later be able to order the full comic from local retailers via the app.
"We enjoy our close relationships with indie publishers, and believe our Comics by comiXology app is the ideal way for them to increase the exposure to their titles that may otherwise not receive the attention they deserve, while increasing sales of the print editions once they become available," said David Steinberger, CEO of Iconology, creator of the comiXology app.
Chris Pitzer, publisher of AdHouse Books, added: "I welcome the opportunity to work with Comixology in a new way to spread the advance word about our upcoming fall release of FCHS. I think it is a win for everyone involved from the creators, to the publisher, to the distributor, to the retailer and ultimately, to the comic reader."
The digital preview of FCHS is available now from Comics by comiXology. The full graphic novel retails in November.
