DSTLRY, the publisher with a focus on creator owned comics, has hired André Anderson to be their Head of Sales & Retailer Relations. In this role, he will oversee the sales and retailer outreach in both direct and mass markets.

Anderson has over a decade of sales experience in software and beyond. According to DSTLRY, he has been a comic book fan since his mom bought him comics as a child.

“I have known DSTLRY co-founder and CEO David Steinberger for several years, and after providing DSTLRY some sales operations advice since its inception, I am incredibly excited to formally come on board,” Anderson said. “I’ve adored sequential art my whole life and can’t wait to help celebrate the next era of creator-owned comics with the true life blood of the medium – comic book shops and book stores!”

“André is truly a passionate fan of comics with an exemplary history of sales growth,” Steinberger said.

“DSTLRY wouldn’t be here today without the support of comic book shops and book stores, and André will allow us to address their needs and celebrate our books on a new scale,” DSTLRY co-founder and CCO Chip Mosher added.
