Alterna Comics is changing the game for indie creators.

Since 2006 New England based Comics publisher Alterna Comics has been at the forefront of Creator-Owned comics. Like Image comics before them, Alterna publishes creator owned content where the creators retain all the rights of their work while having the benefit of a publisher to carry the burden of printing and distribution.

Peter Simeti founder and publisher of Alterna Comics most recently shook up the comics world with his newsprint comics. Taking comics back to their pre-glossy days and saving consumers money in the process. Alterna's newsprint titles vary between $1.50 and $1.99. A stark contrast from the $3.99 to $4.99 for most comics titles. 

Now Simeti is putting a whole new twist in the game by offering Indie comics creators a chance to jump into the newsprint game along with his other Alterna titles. This is most definetly a game changer as the major set back for any title is the ability to publish and get into the hands of consumers.

On twitter earlier today Simeti announced a Printing Partnership Program, an opportunity for Indie creators to partner with Alterna and get a print run with as little as 500 copies. Couple that low print run with a per issue cost of $0.50 and you have a game changer for Indie creators.

The printing program has not officially launched but Indie creators who want in on the program can go to Alternacomics.com and look up the program details. Meanwhile creator can sign up for email updates for the lauch. This has major potential for many Indie creators.
