About the Game

Become A Comic Publisher

Start your own comic book company. Create comics, hire people and expand your marketing.

Create Your Ideas


Core of Comic Company Manager is its Franchise system. You create new ideas by combining 3-6 tropes. After it has been created you can make comics, create merchandise and level it up.

Create Your Comics

Conquer the market with your comics. They can be based on your own ideas or you can buy or license franchises. Customize them by deciding if they should be colored or black and white, how many ads they have, what kind of paper they are printed on, how long they will run and how often they publish. There more ways to adjust them but the game also allows you to leave it up to the creators if you don't want to go that deep

Decorate Your Offices


To make comics your workers need work stations. To keep them happy you need to decorate the rooms too. Add some nice furniture so they can take a break. Paint the walls the colors you like

Manage Your Artists

Keep your workers happy or they will quit. Make sure they like their team-mates or the work will suffer. Your workers can fill roles like: Writer, Penciler, Inker, Colorist and Editor

Simulate The Comic Market

Market in the game is dynamic with readers changing tastes and AI companies creating their own comics. You are directly competing with other companies for sales as each reader is simulated and they will only buy a set amount of comics.
