Also known as: イメージ・コミック
An American comic book publisher, the third largest comic book and graphic novel publisher in the industry in both unit and market share. It was founded in 1992 by several high-profile illustrators as a venue for creator-owned properties, in which comics creators could publish material of their own creation without giving up the copyrights to those properties.
Its output was originally dominated by superhero and fantasy series from the studios of the founding Image partners, but now includes comics in many genres by numerous independent creators. Its best-known publications include Spawn (Comic), Savage Dragon, Witchblade (Comic), The Walking Dead, Invincible (Series), Saga, Jupiter'S Legacy, The Darkness, and Kick-Ass. This publisher was founded by Erik Larsen, Jim Lee, Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane, Whilce Portacio, Marc Silvestri, & Jim Valentino.
