Hello comic retailers and fans!
Welcome to PRH Panels, the Penguin Random House catalog for the Direct Market, highlighting the incredible graphic novels, manga, games, and more that debut every month. We can’t wait for you to find the next story to inspire and entertain you, and the latest games and gifts to bring you together.
October is the first month PRH is distributing single issue comic books! It’s taken a lot of hard work, and the feedback we’ve gotten from retailers has been key in evolving this process. Our team is thrilled to bring your favorite Marvel comics to the shelves! Retailers who have any questions about the ordering process, or would like to open an account with PRH, are encouraged to email us at [email protected].
We’ll also continue to bring you the best in graphic novels, manga, and more! In the Graphic Novels section, we’re taking to the skies with Superman: Red & Blue, a collection of fresh takes on the Man of Steel from Academy Award-winning writer John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, Let it Fall) and a cavalcade of incredible creators. These stories include personal, quiet reflections on Superman not just as an icon, but as a person just trying to do good in the world.
In the Kids & YA section, we have Jessi Zabarsky’s second graphic novel, Coming Back. This is a beautiful story about two young women, Preet and Valissa, navigating a relationship in a fantasy world where everyone has magic... except for Valissa. Torn apart by tragic events, the two will have to figure out who they are as individuals before they can find a way back to each other.
The Manga section is here to make us nostalgic with Kamen Rider –The Classic Manga Collection! Ever heard of a little show called Power Rangers? Well, Kamen Rider is the older sibling in the Super Sentai family, and its influence in pop culture is massive. This special 50th Anniversary Omnibus Edition is the perfect gift for fans new and old, presenting the original run of the manga with exciting bonus materials.
And speaking of perfect gifts, you can’t miss The Masters of the Universe Book in the Games & Gift section. With the Netflix series introducing a whole new generation to Eternia, there’s no better time to look back at the history of this unstoppable franchise. Packed with info on the toys, comics, TV series, and even a sneak peek at the reboots, this is a must-have for fans of He-Man and She-Ra. By the Power of Grayskull!
All this and much, much more can be found in this month’s PRH Panels. Don’t hesitate to explore this catalog and find the perfect new book!

The Graphic Canon of Crime & Mystery Vol 2Edited by RUSS KICK
Here are Teddy Goldenberg’s dense, murky treatment of Dashiell Hammett’s “The Road Home,” often considered the first hard-boiled detective story ever published. Shawn Cheng renders the first serial-killer story, the so-called fairy tale “Bluebeard” by Charles Perrault. Landis Blair reimagines The Trial as a choose-your-own-adventure story that you cannot win. Plus twenty-three other contributors using a wide range of illustrative styles.
As with previous volumes in the Graphic Canon series, the illustrations run the full gamut of media and techniques, and artistic interpretations range from verbatim literalism to metaphorical extensions to surrealism and abstraction.
