The new PantheonComics.com is here! We wanted to clean house, and make it easy for you to look around. Chip Kidd, our champion of comics here at Pantheon drew us a snazzy new logo. John Kuramoto, formerly of Twinkleland.com gave us the “How a Comic Becomes a Comic” webpages you’re browsing (thanks John!). Then Chip lettered the entire site, and the team here at Random House got us through to a successful launch. (Thanks to one and all.)

So dig in. If you’re looking for Chirs Ware’s famous paper dolls or a recent video of Mr. Kidd talking about comics, hit the downloads page. Be sure to read Chip’s note about his view on publishing comics today on the Behind the Comics page, and stay tuned to hear from more of our esteemed authors and artists throughout the coming months. Search for your favorite comic and view sample spreads. And e-mail us and tell us what you like. We like to hear from you very much. Plus, sign up for our e-newsletter in that pink post-it on the right, and we’ll make sure you hear from us about new comics-y stuff.
