Bleeding Cool has learnt over the WonderCon weekend that Scott Dunbier is to quit IDW Publishing. A move that will have serious consequences for the comic book industry.
Scott Dunbier was an art dealer, who turned to publishing comics with Wildstorm, where he was appointed Editor-In-Chief, before Wildstorm was bought by DC Comics, making Dunbier a Vice President there. He was in charge of keeping Alan Moore separate from the rest of DC Comics, editing the America's Best Comics line.
Licensing rights to some of the most important comics in American publishing history, and at the size closest to the original artwork. It is considered one of the major reasons IDW Publishing stayed in profit. Again, everyone tried to copy it. But few had the original art contacts that Scott Dunbier did. And so publishers came to IDW, including Marvel and DC. But now Scott Dunbier is choosing to leave of his own volition. I heard that his WonderCon panel went very well indeed.
