Marvel Comics continues to further its reach into many different services to get its books out there by partnering with the subscription reading service Scribd. The services provides readers unlimited access to hundreds of Marvel’s collected editions that include properties such as Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, the Hulk, and more. While Marvel Comics has lots of collections available for digital purchase on many services, this is the first time Marvel Comics will be available via a subscription service alongside other content forms including eBooks and audiobooks.
“For decades, a driving force at Marvel has been the desire to put comics in the hands of new readers,” said Daniele Campbell, VP CRM. “Our partnership with Scribd allows some of Marvel’s greatest stories to sit alongside Scribd’s already vast and eclectic catalogue of content in an effort to reach readers who might not have access to a comic shop.”
“This partnership gives us the opportunity to not only bring devoted comic fans into Scribd’s world of unlimited reading, but also to introduce the entire Scribd community to the world of comics,” said Julie Haddon, Vice President of Editorial and Marketing at Scribd. “We’re excited to broaden our subscription service so that readers can discover more than books.”
