Devil's Due Publishing (often abbreviated as DDP) is one of the ten largest comic book publishers in the United States. Based out of Chicago, Illinois, DDP is best know for its wide selection of genres, including licensed and original creator owned properties that populate its monthly comic book series and graphic novels. Home to artist and writer Tim Seeley's original horror title Hack/Slash and former X-Men editor Mark Powers' sci-fi series Drafted, Devil's Due has produced numerous successful titles that have sustained the company for nearly a decade.

Though principally a publishing company, DDP has also produced a stage play based on the Hack/Slash comic series, Stagefright, in conjunction with the New Millennium Theatre Company that played at the National Pastime Theater on Broadway, Chicago from September 23 to October 29, 2005.^[1]

[edit] History

Devil's Due Publishing started in 1999 as both a commercial art studio and a small press comic-book publisher. It did not take long for the company to shift all focus onto comic books, though, and quickly become one of today's top ten comic book powerhouses.^[2]

Their staff consists of: President/CEO- Josh Blaylock, Assistant Publisher- Sam Wells, Vice President of Marketing- Susan Bishop, Art Director- Sean K. Dove, Editor- Mike Sullivan, Staff Artist- Tim Seeley, Staff Artist- Mike Bear, Graphic Design- Brian J. Crowley, Editorial assistant- Josh Friz, Office assistant- Nora Hickey, Web Manager- Idris Grant, Finance manger- Debbie Davis, Computer Operater- Crank,

DDP is represented in Hollywood by Alter Ego Entertainment and Prime Universe, who share a first-look deal with the publisher for film, television and video games. Currently, the three parties are in discussion with numerous studios about expanding Devil's Due properties into other media, with more than one project attached to serious talent.^[2]
