Founded by DONNY CATES (Thanos, Thor, Venom, God Country) and RYAN STEGMAN (Venom, Absolute Carnage, King in Black), KLC PRESS is INDIE COMICS UNCHAINED. We aim to not only bring you some of the most exciting creator-owned comics on stands, but to also foster a fun and welcoming community of comics fans and creators alike.

KLC PRESS debuted with the SMASH-HIT seriesVANISH from Cates and Stegman, alongside JP MAYER, SONIA O’BACK, and JOHN J. HILL, in September 2022. Now, the roster of creatives working on KLC PRESS titles has grown to include TYRELL CANNON, ETHAN S. PARKER, KENNY PORTER, GRIFFIN SHERIDAN, MIKE SPICER, and BOB QUINN.

Across KLC PRESS’ titles, which now also includes 2023’s THE SCHLUB and KILL YOUR DARLINGS, the imprint has traversed numerous genres and styles including horror, fantasy, comedy, superheorics, and more. The collective is currently hard at work on your next favorite comic book.

If you like what we’re doing here at KLC PRESS or just want to SUPPORT INDEPENDENT COMICS, then we highly encourage you to subscribe to our paid MONTHLY or ANNUAL subscription tiers and join the KLC VIP.

With that $5, you won’t just be directly supporting independent comics and the making of creator-owned books, but you’ll also receive exclusive perks.

Think of the KLC VIP subscription less like a streaming service and more like a Patreon. The subscription supports the making of more badass books for you all to read, but you’ll also receive a bunch of perks, including at least one digital comic a month!
