Heidi MacDonald reported in The Beat: As Pizzolo explains, “Groundbreaking art thrives when the relationship between artist and label is built on integrity, respect, and a team effort. Comics has a troubled history with its treatment of creators, our goal is to bring the supportive ethic of record labels like Epitaph, Dischord, and Revelation to comics.” “Art has the power to move people and transgressive art can challenge and even change social norms,” adds Gurewitz. ”It’s what punk rock and comics have in common, and one of the reasons I’m super excited about Black Mask Studios.”

We’re not afraid to bring in activism and politics and counterculture. What publisher today could be bringing out the next V For Vendetta? Nobody.” Although we haven’t seen the comics yet, a couple of observations: The line seems a bit more focused talent and theme-wise than usual in these kinds of projects; post-Vertigo socially aware themes and a good mix of creators including our man Gus Storms. It’s also smart to have such an eclectic distribution model using new and existing structures. So…an interesting development for the start of the year.
