BIG Comics & Graphic Novels
In addition to film, animation, and broadcast television, BIG Studios also functions as a boutique publisher of indie comics and artisan graphic novels. Through our collaboration with Eisner winning writer Mike Baron, we're about to publish our third graphic novel, with another four books in production scheduled for 2023.
Here's a list of our current and upcoming titles.
FLORIDA MAN

THIN BLUE LINE
Mike Baron, Joe Arnold, Jeff Slemons
It's the critically acclaimed, gritty graphic novel, with a completely different street-level hero... a female cop.
