Bring Appalachian voices to your shelves

Appalachia Comics Project creates comics that amplify the storytellers, artists, and communities of the Appalachian region. Our titles bring readers something they can't find anywhere else: authentic mountain voices told through bold, original artwork.

If you run a bookstore, library, museum gift shop, classroom, market or specialty retailer, we would love to see our books in your hands and on your shelves. Wholesale pricing is available on our full catalog, including our flagship anthology Islands in the Sky.

Why carry ACP titles

Our books resonate with readers who care about regional storytelling, independent publishing, and the culture of Appalachia. They make a natural fit for stores across the mountains and far beyond them, and they give your customers a story worth talking about.

  • Distinctive catalog. Original anthologies and comics you won't find through the big distributors.
  • A grassroots mission. Every sale supports a nonprofit dedicated to amplifying Appalachian creators.
  • Strong local pull. Titles rooted in a real place, with a built-in audience that champions them.
  • Flexible ordering. Terms that work for shops of every size, from a single shelf to a full display.

How it works

Getting started is simple. Reach out through the form below or contact us directly, and we'll send you our current wholesale catalog, pricing, and terms. We'll work with you on quantities, timing, and anything else your store needs.

We're a small team who genuinely loves this work, and we treat every account like a partner, not a purchase order.
