==History==
=== Founding ===
[[File:Fantagraphics booth.jpg|thumb|The Fantagraphics booth at the [[Stumptown Comics Fest]] 2006]]

Fantagraphics was founded in 1976 by [[Gary Groth]] and [[Michael Catron]] in [[College Park, Maryland]]. The company took over an [[zine|adzine]] named ''The Nostalgia Journal'', which it renamed ''[[The Comics Journal]]'',<ref>{{cite new|title=cover |work=The Comics Journal |volume= 32|date=Jan 1977|quote=Formerly The Nostalgia Journal}}</ref> transforming it from an adzine into a magazine of news and criticism that just happened to carry advertisements.<ref>{{cite news|department=FROM THE TCJ ARCHIVES|title=BORN OF BILE: NEWSWATCH EXAMINES ITS OWN NAVEL |first=Michael |last=Dean | date=August 22, 2000 |url=https://www.tcj.com/born-of-bile-newswatch-examines-its-own-navel/|website=The Comics Journal}}</ref>

[[Kim Thompson]] joined the company in 1977, using his inheritance to keep the company afloat.<ref name=rescue>{{cite news|last=Dean|first= Michael|url=http://www.tcj.com/254/n_fanta.html|title=Comics Community Comes to Fantagraphics' Rescue|work=The Comics Journal|date=July 11, 2003}}</ref> (He soon became a co-owner.)<ref>{{cite book|author-link=Tom Spurgeon|last1=Spurgeon|first1= Tom|first2=Jacob |last2=Covey|title=Comics as Art: We Told You So|location= Seattle, WA|publisher=Fantagraphics|date=2016|isbn=978-1606999332}}</ref>

The company moved from Washington, D.C., to [[Stamford, Connecticut]], to Los Angeles over its early years, before settling in Seattle in 1989.<ref name="Matos">{{cite news|last=Matos|first= Michelangelo|url=http://www.seattleweekly.com/2004-09-15/arts/saved-by-the-beagle/|title=Saved by the Beagle|work=Seattle Arts|date=September 15, 2004}}</ref>

Beginning in 1981 Fantagraphics (under its [[Redbeard Inc.]] imprint)<ref name=az7>{{cite magazine|magazine=Amazing Heroes|number=7|date=December 1981|page=5|title=Indicia}}</ref> published ''[[Amazing Heroes]]'', a magazine which examined comics from a hobbyist's point of view,<ref>Spurgeon and Dean, {{"'}}Everything was in Season.{{'"}} Kim Thompson: "We decided to do a magazine that would cover the mainstream in a more fannish manner."</ref> as another income stream to supplement ''The Comics Journal''.<ref>Spurgeon and Dean, "'Everything was in Season.'" Kim Thompson: "If you want to look at it cynically, we set out to steal ''[[The Comic Reader]]''{{'}}s cheese. Which we did."</ref> ''Amazing Heroes'' ran for 204 issues (plus a number of specials and annuals), folding with its July 1992 issue.<ref>{{cite news|department=Newswatch|title=''Amazing Heroes'' Folding|work=The Comics Journal|number=149 |date=March 1992|page= 22}}</ref>

=== Comics publisher ===
Beginning in 1979, Fantagraphics began publishing comics, starting with [[Jay Disbrow]]'s ''The Flames of Gyro''.<ref name="GCD">{{cite web|url=http://www.comics.org/issue/854466/|title=GCD :: Issue :: The Flames of Gyro|access-date=February 6, 2016}}</ref> They gained wider recognition in 1982 by publishing the [[Hernandez brothers]]' ''[[Love and Rockets (comics)|Love and Rockets]]'',<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/arts/6-alternative-comics-publishers-you-need-to-know-and-read-8975315|title=6 Alternative Comics Publishers You Need to Know — and Read|last=Schmidt|first=Joseph|date=January 18, 2017|work=Phoenix New Times|access-date=August 17, 2017}}</ref> and moved on to such critically acclaimed and award-winning series as ''[[Acme Novelty Library]]'', ''[[Eightball (comics)|Eightball]]'', and ''[[Hate (comic)|Hate]]''.

The company moved operations to [[Greater Los Angeles]] in 1984.<ref name="Matos" />

Catron acted as Fantagraphics' co-publisher until 1985 (also handling advertising and circulation for ''[[The Comics Journal]]'' from 1982 to 1985), when he left the company.<ref name="WhosWho">{{cite web|url=https://www.bailsprojects.com/%28S%28euvopi45ji5gunarjfrdourx%29%29/bio.aspx?Name=CATRON%2c+MIKE|title=Mike Catron|work=Who's Who of American Comic Books, 1928–1999 |access-date=January 10, 2021}}</ref>

=== The Kirby Awards and the Harvey Awards ===
From 1985 to 1987, Fantagraphics coordinated and presented (through their magazine ''Amazing Heroes'') [[The Jack Kirby Award]] for achievement in comic books, voted on by comic-book professionals. The Kirby Award was managed by [[Dave Olbrich]], a Fantagraphics employee (and later publisher of [[Malibu Comics]]). In 1987, a dispute arose when Olbrich and Fantagraphics each claimed ownership of the awards.<ref name=olbrich>{{cite web | url = https://funnybookfanatic.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/the-end-of-the-jack-kirby-comics-industry-awards-a-lesson-in-honesty/ | first=Dave|last= Olbrich | date= December 17, 2008 | title= The End of the Jack Kirby Comics Industry Awards: A Lesson in Honesty | publisher= Funny Book Fanatic (Dave Olbrich official blog) | access-date= August 22, 2015 | archive-date=June 24, 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130624035429/http://funnybookfanatic.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/the-end-of-the-jack-kirby-comics-industry-awards-a-lesson-in-honesty/ | url-status=live}}</ref> A compromise was reached, and, starting in 1988, the Kirby Award was discontinued and two new awards were created:<ref>"Newswatch: Kirby Awards End In Controversy," ''The Comics Journal'' #122 (June 1988), pp. 19–20.</ref> the [[Eisner Awards]], managed by Olbrich; and the Fantagraphics-managed [[Harvey Awards]], named for cartoonist [[Harvey Kurtzman]].

=== Relocation to Seattle ===
In 1989, Fantagraphics relocated from Los Angeles to its current location in the [[Maple Leaf, Seattle, Washington|Maple Leaf]] neighborhood of [[Seattle, Washington]].<ref name="Matos" />

In 1990, the publisher introduced Eros Comix, a lucrative [[line (comics)|line]] of erotic comics that provided a replacement revenue stream for ''Amazing Heroes'' and which helped the company again avoid bankruptcy.<ref name=rescue />

Longtime employee [[Eric Reynolds (comics)|Eric Reynolds]] joined Fantagraphics in 1993, first as news editor for ''The Comics Journal'' from 1993, before moving to marketing and promotion in 1996.<ref name="ComicsReporterInterview">{{Cite web |url = http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/cr_holiday_interview_5/ |title = CR Holiday Interview #9: Eric Reynolds |last=Spurgeon |first= Tom|author-link=Tom Spurgeon|work = [[The Comics Reporter]] |date = January 4, 2008 |access-date = June 3, 2011}}</ref> Groth and Thompson acknowledged Reynolds was key to the company's rise to profitability.<ref>{{cite news|first=Sean T. |last=Collins|url=https://seantcollins.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/FantaSTC.pdf |title=Armed and Dangerous|work=[[Wizard (magazine)|Wizard]]|number=138 |date=March 2003|page=43|quote=Kim Thompson: 'By any standard, Eric's the stabilizing third wheel on the erratic Groth-Thompson bicycle.'}}</ref>

[[Tom Spurgeon]], later known as the publisher of ''[[The Comics Reporter]]'', was editor of ''[[The Comics Journal]]'' from 1994 to 1999.<ref>{{cite news|title=Comics Reporter Blog Reaches Anniversary|date=October 10, 2007|publisher=Editor & Publisher}}</ref>

=== Financial ups and downs ===
In 1998, Fantagraphics was forced into a round of layoffs;<ref name=rescue /> and in 2003 the company almost went out of business, losing over $60,000 in the wake of the 2002 bankruptcy of debtor and book trade distributor [[Seven Hills Distribution]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Dean|first=Michael|url=http://www.tcj.com/246/n_booktrade.html |title=Seven Hills Follows LPC into Limbo, Marvel Abandons Diamond for CDS|work=The Comics Journal|date=August 30, 2002}}</ref> One employee quit during the subsequent [[layoff|downsizing]] while denouncing Fantagraphics' "disorganization and poor management."<ref name=rescue /> As journalist (and former Fantagraphics employee) Michael Dean wrote, "the publisher has alternated between flourishing and nearly perishing over the years."<ref name=rescue /> 

Fantagraphics was saved by a restructuring and a successful appeal to comic book [[fandom]] that resulted in a huge number of orders.<ref name=rescue /> After restructuring, the company has had greater success with such hardcover collections as ''[[The Complete Peanuts]]'', distributed by [[W. W. Norton & Company]].<ref name="Matos" />

In 2009, Fantagraphics ceased publishing the print edition of ''The Comics Journal'',<ref>{{cite news|url=http://archives.tcj.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=9&Itemid=48 |title=The 300th and final magazine-sized issue of the Comics Journal|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120430083410/http://archives.tcj.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=9&Itemid=48 |archive-date=April 30, 2012 |work=The Comics Journal|number=300}}</ref> shifting from an eight-times a year publishing schedule to a larger, more elaborate, semi-annual format supported by a new website.<ref>{{cite news|last=Phegley|first= Kiel|url= http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=23532 |title=Rethinking 'The Comics Journal'|work=[[Comic Book Resources]]|date=October 30, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author-link=Tom Spurgeon|last=Spurgeon|first= Tom|url=http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/subscriber_letter_tcj_moves_more_dramatically_on_line_semi_annual_in_print/ |title=TCJ Moves More Dramatically On-Line; Print Version To Come Out Two Times A Year|work= The Comics Reporter|date=October 27, 2009}}</ref>

=== European line ===
Starting in 2005, Fantagraphics began a European graphic novel [[line (comics)|line]],<ref name=Kozinn>Kozinn, Allan.

The publisher announced a deal with [[Jacques Tardi]] in March 2009 that would see co-publisher Thompson translate a large number of his books.<ref>{{cite web |first=Tom |last=Spurgeon |author-link=Tom Spurgeon |url=http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/cr_newsmaker_kim_thompson_on_fantagraphics_publishing_jacques_tardi/ |title=CR Newsmaker: Kim Thompson On Fantagraphics Publishing Jacques Tardi |publisher=[[The Comics Reporter]] |date=March 9, 2009 |access-date=March 15, 2010 }}</ref>

In 2006, Fantagraphics opened its own retail store, Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery, in Seattle's [[Georgetown, Seattle, Washington|Georgetown]] neighborhood.

In 2009 Jacq Cohen started as the publicist for Fantagraphics.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Comics Reporter |url=https://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/jacq_cohen_moves_from_dark_horse_to_fantagraphics_as_new_publicist |access-date=2023-09-21 |website=www.comicsreporter.com}}</ref>

In August 2020 the company rebranded, from ''Fantagraphics Books'' to just ''Fantagraphics''. At the same time it introduced a more compact logo featuring a stylized ink pen nib and a torch.<ref>{{Cite web|date=August 18, 2020|title=Fantagraphic Books Rebrands With a New Logo and Shortened Name|url=https://www.cbr.com/fantagraphic-books-rebrands-shortened-name/|access-date=January 15, 2021|website=CBR|language=en-US|archive-date=October 13, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211013112420/https://www.cbr.com/fantagraphic-books-rebrands-shortened-name/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2023, Fantagraphics began reprinting comics from [[Atlas Comics (1950s)|Atlas Comics]] under license from [[Marvel Comics]].

==Imprints==

===Ignatz Series===
The '''Ignatz Series'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> is an international comic imprint. It is published by Fantagraphics (U.S.), [[Avant Verlag]] (Germany), [[Vertige Graphic]] (France), [[Oog & Blik]] (Holland), [[Coconino Press]] (Italy), and [[Sinsentido]] (Spain). It is named for Ignatz Mouse, a character in the comic strip ''[[Krazy Kat]]''.

The books in the Ignatz Series are designed midway between standard North American comic book pamphlet-size and [[graphic novel]]-size. Each title is 32 pages, two-color, saddle stitched, 8{{frac|1|2}}″ × 11″, with jacket, priced at $7.95.

The Ignatz collection is edited and produced by Italian artist [[Igort]]. Fantagraphics editor [[Kim Thompson]] frequently provided translations.

===Eros Comix===
'''Eros Comix'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> was an adult-oriented imprint of Fantagraphics,<ref>{{cite news|title=40 Years Later, Fantagraphics Is Still the Most Progressive Force in Comics: Shut out from the DC & Marvel Universe, alternative comics find a home at Fantagraphics|first=Alex |last=Wong|date=Dec 13, 2016|work=[[Complex Networks|Complex]]|url=https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/alex-wong/fantagraphics-comic-books}}</ref> established in 1990 to publish [[adult comics|pornographic comic books]] like [[Gilbert Hernandez]]' ''[[Birdland (comic)|Birdland]]'' and reprints of work by [[Wally Wood]] and [[Frank Thorne]].<ref name=AH180NL>{{cite magazine|date=June 1990|title=Newsline|magazine=[[Amazing Heroes]]|publisher=[[Fantagraphics Books]]|number=180}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|title=Confessions of a Smut Peddler: On the Creation of Eros Comix|author-link=Gary Groth|first=Gary|last=Groth|pages=5–7|magazine=The Comics Journal|number=143 |date=Apr 1991}}</ref> Eventually, Eros added to its catalogue dozens of comics titles, over 40 collected editions, [[anime]] videos, [[DVD]]s, and books of erotic art and photography. The 2006 Eros Comix print catalog sold over 470 items, including adult comic books and humorous [[glamour photography|cheesecake-style comics]] often featuring [[pin-up girl]]s like [[Bettie Page]]. The Eros Comix imprint was popular enough that it is credited with making Fantagraphics financially solvent.<ref>{{cite book|title=Comics through Time: A History of Icons, Idols, and Ideas|editor-first=M.

Notable Eros titles include [[Bill Willingham]]'s ''[[Ironwood (comics)|Ironwood]]'', [[SS Crompton]]'s ''[[Demi the Demoness]]'', [[Howard Chaykin]]'s ''[[Black Kiss]]'', ''[[Domino Lady]]''; and the Italian series ''[[Djustine]]'', ''[[Ramba (comics)|Ramba]]'', and ''[[Frankenstein in popular culture|Adult Frankenstein]]''.

Writer-artist [[Tom Sutton]] contributed work to Eros titles under the pseudonym "Dementia".<ref name=groth>{{cite news | url = http://www.tcj.com/an-odd-man-out-tom-sutton/ | title = An Odd Man Out: Tom Sutton | work = [[The Comics Journal]] | issue = 230 | interviewer = [[Gary Groth]]| publisher = Fantagraphics Books | date = February 2001 | location = Seattle, Washington | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121126133041/http://www.tcj.com/an-odd-man-out-tom-sutton/7/ | archive-date = November 26, 2012 | url-status = live | df = mdy-all }}</ref> Other contributors to Eros titles included [[Eric Stanton]], [[Mary Fleener]], [[Mikael Oskarsson]], [[Bill Pearson (American writer)|Bill Pearson]], [[Malachy Coney]], [[Richard Bassford]], [[Gary Dumm]], [[Frank Stack]], [[Bob Fingerman]], [[Molly Kiely]], [[Yanick Paquette]], [[Robert Peters (writer)|Robert Peters]], [[John Workman]], [[Colleen Coover]],<ref>{{cite news |last=JOHNSON |first=CHELSEY |author-link=Chelsey Johnson |date=Feb 2002 |title=From the Vaults: A Toon Temptress in a Male Dominated Comics World: Chelsey Johnson talks with Colleen Coover about her lesbian porn comic ''Small Favors'' |url=https://www.out.com/vaults/2017/7/26/vaults-toon-temptress-male-dominated-comics-world |work=[[Out (magazine)|Out]]}}</ref> [[Marc Andreyko]], [[Raulo Cáceres]], [[Larry Fuller (cartoonist)|Larry Fuller]], [[Dennis Eichhorn]], [[Dennis Cramer]]/[[Justine Mara Andersen]],<ref>{{cite news|title=Mara Pitches In to Help CBLDF|page=26|work=The Comics Journal|number=185|date=Mar 1996|department=Newswatch}}</ref> [[Jon Macy]], [[John Blackburn (cartoonist)|John Blackburn]], and [[Greg Budgett]].

In the beginning, there was some controversy over Eros titles featuring back cover ads with [[phone sex]] numbers.<ref>{{cite news|title=1-900-Condemn|page=26|work=The Comics Journal|number=149|date=Mar 1992|department=Newswatch}}</ref> In 1994, Eros editor Tom Verre was replaced by Jeremy Pinkham.<ref>{{cite news|title=New Eros Comics Editor|page=39|work=The Comics Journal|number=168|date=May 1994}}</ref>

By the late 1990s, the imprint was no longer profitable, and the publication of new material diminished rapidly.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Dallas|first1=Keith|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i5x9DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA259|title=American Comic Book Chronicles: The 1990s|last2=Sacks|first2=Jason|date=2018-12-05|publisher=TwoMorrows Publishing|isbn=978-1-60549-084-7|language=en}}</ref> The Eros Comix website was no longer being maintained by 2017; its titles no longer appear on the Fantagraphics website under that label.
