IDW Publishing

IDW Publishing is an American comic book publisher, best known for its licenced comic adaptations and tie-in work for various movies and cartoons, such as My Little Pony, Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Idea and Design Works was formed in 1999 by a group of entertainment executives and artists that included Ted Adams, Robbie Robbins, Alex Garner, and Kris Oprisko to develop products related to video games, movies, TV, collectible card games, comic books and trading cards. The IDW Publishing division was formed in the year 2000.

After developing multiple othe Disney tiles, including Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, their first venture into the world of Star Wars began with the release of the Star Wars edition of the Micro Comic Fun Pack in 2015, a series of bling bags containing comics, stickers and posters, of which editions relating to other series have already been released at that point.

They have since started re-printing the Los Angeles Times Syndicate comic strips with Star Wars: The Classic Newspaper Comics, the first of which being Star Wars: The Classic Newspaper Comics Vol. 1 on May 9, 2017.

They are current holders of the Star Wars juvenile comics licence, with which they will start publishing orginal comics, begining with Star Wars: The Force Awakens—The Story of the Movie in Comics on July 25, 2017 and their completely original series, Star Wars Adventures at San Diego Comic-Con during the same month.
