About Me


Arcana began in 2004 as a studio.
Not a publisher and not a comic book company.
But here we are, proud to talk about what we've done in both areas.
The Comics:
In just over two years, we have published over 60 comics and 7 books, reaching sales of nearly 750,000 books. Weare found on 15 different countries and are translated into seven languages across the globe.
Nominated for a Harvey Award and winning the Shuster Award for Top Publisher are just a few of the accolades thatArcana is very proud of.
The Studio:
We have been hired by some of the very best, to create the very best. Arcana has been hired to produce toy designs,webpage designs, set designs for movies and television and 3D Computer Generated models. We have always met ourdeadlines and have always been within budget.
If you are looking for a professional studio to produce top quality graphics (2D or 3D) for your business orproject please look no further.
Clients include: Disney, HBO, New Line, Ubisoft, Google.
Our History:
Completing our debut title Kade, we had great success with the gothic hero and began to see the potential we haduncovered. Ant was Arcana's follow-up title and completely sold out in less than 9 days, an unprecidented feat foran independent publisher. Ezra became Arcana's top selling book ever, while 100 Girls went on to be featured as oneof the top 12 books of the year in Wizard's Secret Stash. Sundown, El Arsenal, Paradox and Dead Men Tell No Talescomplete the lineup, but some of the best of Arcana is yet to come...
