Dear friends and colleagues,
It’s the beginning of the
year, and I've left Platinum
Studios to form a new company,
The Pack.
As a content provider, The Pack is going
to tackle a wide range of book and product
categories for several distribution outlets that will utilize
the comics storytelling medium.
I've hooked up with numerous partners
who'll be working with me in some of these categories.
Barbara Kesel and Brian Augustyn will be
joining me in the acquisition and development of new
intellectual properties for graphic novels and comics.
An industry veteran writer and editor,
Barbara was an editor for DC comics, Editor & Managing
Editor for Dark Horse, and Head Writer for CrossGen. Her
freelance writing career spans the comics field and also
includes plays, educational comics, and YA fiction.
Brian's been a prolific comics writer for
all the major comics companies and has worked as an editor at
DC Comics, was Senior Managing Editor for Metron Press, the
Managing Editor for Visionary Comics Studio, and as a
consultant for Narwain Publishing.
Dave Olbrich will be joining me in
developing new non-fiction and adaptation of previously
published non-fiction and fiction for the trade.
Most notably, Dave was the founding
Publisher of Malibu Comics, and President of Doggworks, a comic
artists and writers agency. He was also the Chief
Administrative Monkey at Gorilla Comics, and the Director of
Publishing/U.S. for Humanoids, Inc.
Gordon Kent will be joining me in
developing a wide range of properties and adaptations for New
Media.
A long-time animation industry
professional, Gordon has been an animation writer, story
editor, producer, voice & timing director, and he's
currently the Supervising Director on "Class of
3000." He was the lead writer on the "Rugrats"
and "Pink Panther" comic strips.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Lee Nordling
President
The Pack
