We’re proud to announce that GlobalComix and Ox Eye Media Inc., parent company of Source Point Press, are teaming up for the joint development of GlobalComix Press™, powered by Ox Eye Media. GC Press™ is the first consumer-facing, digital + physical sales with an on-demand printing service for comics worldwide.
Together with a marketplace of comic sales fulfilled through drop-shipping, we’re developing a suite of tools for creators to manage their print file upload and production orders. It comes bundled with automated printability checks on upload that simplify getting your PDFs approved for printing, shifting focus onto getting high production quality comics into readers’ hands.
We’re also working on some really cool concepts around variants and personalizations for everyone - a possibility that is just recently available due to “batch size of 1” capability by production equipment / printers. We can imagine things like delivering a custom curated experience for every collector based on options made available in the UI before placing an order.
By combining GlobalComix’s cutting-edge technology and digital infrastructure with Ox Eye Media’s proven experience with producing comics and games, printing, logistics and physical distribution, we want to open up physical comics to everyone from creators worldwide, all with the press of a button.
“At the earliest formation of Source Point I think a core value was to be in service to creators,” said Travis McIntire, CEO of Ox Eye Media. “For nearly a decade, growing our business at conventions and events to mass market distribution, we’ve tried to maintain our focus on helping creators get their books into the hands of readers. This partnership with GlobalComix is a natural next step for us. Being able to help connect new readers with new creators is something that’s great for our hobby and excellent for our industry as a whole.”
We’re preparing GC Press™ for beta in 2023, so stay tuned for more details in the months ahead.
If you plan to be at next week's New York Comic Con, be sure to stop by our booth together with Source Point Press: #2343. We would love to see you; we'll be there and happy to chat, and have some great giveaways planned!

Question. Will it only be in American comic book format or is it also possible to get the A4 Franco Eropean format as well? It could help creators in Europe etc. quite a lot as well
