Archaia announces original graphic novel for Kindle

Publisher Archaia will bring four original graphic novels to Amazon’s Kindle platform over the next 12 months, the publisher announced.  These graphic novels will also be available for the Kindle iPhone and iPod Touch apps.

“Elk’s Run” creators Joshua Hale Fialkov and Noel Tuazon will kick off the program with “Tumor.”

Tumor is a Los Angeles noir about a private investigator with a terminal brain tumor trying to close one last case before the cancer kills him. It will be released as eight individual chapters over the next six months that will then be collected into a hardcover edition.

The first chapter of Tumor is available now on the Kindle for free, with subsequent chapters priced at 99 cents.   Writer Fialkov is pleased to bring his story to this new format.

“I’ve loved my Kindle from Day One, and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted Tumor to be available for the platform,” said Fialkov in a release. “Archaia understood that the Kindle is a unique opportunity to get their comics out there and into the hands of a whole new fanbase who are avid book readers, but may have not read a graphic novel in years.”
