Ape Entertainment will print the Free Mars webcomic.
The publisher has become an "ownership partner" in the free, weekly comic, which was originally launched as The Sisters Grimm by Dave Pauwels and Nicolas R Giacondino.
Ape will publish a collection in July, which will be available in print and in digital on iVerse's Comics + iOS app.
Pauwels reassured fans that the webcomic would continue in its current format.
"The free webcomic will definitely continue with weekly updates and that content will be the lion's share of the print graphic novel," he told Robot 6.
"But for the loyal webcomic readers, we'll have additional material in the print version, including a mini-prequel story and some other original material."
Free Mars follows the adventures of a group of revolutionary punk musicians set against the backdrop of a looming civil war on Mars in the year 2339.
