THE INITIAL PROCESS
The basic concept for Heritage Comics HSQ started
in 1992 by a small group of aspiring Afro-American artists.
The group's idea was to form a comic book company that would redefine comics
for the 90s. A redefinition of the
basics of comics, great art, incredible story-telling, and no super die-cut
foil stamped hologram covers. With the
ideals set and a clear direction, the group needed to gather all the ins-and-outs
of the comic book business in order
to make a dream a reality.
After a few years of gathering information and finishing up the Alpha Agents,
the company's first published title,
Heritage Comics was ready to get the word out to fanboys and comic conventions.
From local Clandestine shows
to the SPX (Small Press Expo) in 1998, Heritage made the dream a reality
as a small press level company. This
was a start but not what the small group originally envisioned. So
more hard work and networking was crucial to
making Heritage Comics HSQ not just another small press publisher in Baltimore,
Maryland, but a comic book
company for everyone and based in the backyard of Diamond Comic Distributors,
Inc., the largest distributor of
comic books and related merchandise in the U.S.
THE FOUNDATION AND BEYOND
With the millenium well underway and the comic book industry in constant
flux, Heritage Comics HSQ was once
again ready to re-ignite their passion for the medium that gave their imagination
an outlet. 2007 saw Heritage
Comics attend the Baltimore Comic Con, its first convention of the 21st
century. This led to attendances at the
Zapp! Con in 07, the Pittsburgh Comic Con in 08, Free Comic Book Day at
Collector's Corner 08, the Baltimore
Comic Con 08, and the Small Press Expo 08. Now, the Legacy can really
begin. . .
Once again, welcome to. . .
