	Slave Labor Graphics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Slave Labor Graphics or commonly SLG, is an independent American comic book publisher, which is well-known for publishing darkly humorous, offbeat comics such as Jhonen Vasquez's Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Squee!
		SLG was started in 1986 by Dan Vado, who is still the company's president and publisher.
		In 1995, SLG added an imprint called "Amaze Ink" intended to be for all audiences and more genre-oriented; the "stranger, more adult, and more difficult to categorize material" would still be published under the "Slave Labor" imprint.

	Chocolate and Slavery
		Young boys whose ages range from 12 to 16 have been sold into slave labor and are forced to work in cocoa farms in order to harvest the beans, from which chocolate is made, under inhumane conditions and extreme abuse.
		Slave traders are trafficking boys ranging from the age of 12 to 16 from their home countries and are selling them to cocoa farmers in Cote d'Ivoire.
		The effect of being sold into slave labor has the obvious physical scars from the constant beatings the children receive, their inhumane living conditions, and the practical starvation that the farmers impose on them.

	Comic Book Resources - CBR News: CCI Xtra: 20 Years of Slave Labor Graphics
		SLG founded the Alternative Press Expo (APE), which helped to establish their reputation in the independent comic marketplace.
		A new direction for SLG began recently with the acquisition of licenses for Disney projects including "Gargoyles," "Haunted Mansion," "Tron" and "Alice in Wonderland." Vado explained that their first contact with the studio was when Disney called wanting SLG to publish a movie adaptation.
		Slave Labor was able to secure the license that would allow Weisman to write his comic.

	SLG: Better Comics Through Superior Firepower
		SLG began publishing Andi Watson, and Evan Dorkin’s Milk and Cheese became a runaway cult hit for SLG in 1991.
		I actually struggled with writing this, as many of the artists involved with Minx are also SLG artists, and I had this great fear that they would all think that I hate them and that I have some stupid punk rock attitude about "selling out," which is not the case at all.
		I've sent the newest issue of In the Works, the official SLG newsletter, to members of the Chain Gang, but because the copier and I are mortal enemies, I have a few extra copies on hand.

	Slave Labor Goes Disney - 2/21/2006 - Publishers Weekly
		Slave Labor Graphics, based in San Jose, Calif., has exhibited in New York City before, but the comics publisher's appearance at the inaugural New York Comic-Con gives it a chance to show off the fruits of a new copublishing venture with Disney Publishing.
		Indeed, Slave Labor is taking these Disney classics beyond the endings we all know and using its popular writers and artists to develop new adventures.
		Several creators are at the Slave Labor Graphics booth (#525) to promote both their own books and their work on the Disney titles.

		Although Slave Labor Graphics' line-up covers a variety of genres, its humorous-yet-macabre titles such as JtHM by Jhonen Vasquez, Lenore by Roman Dirge, and GloomCookie are undoubtedly its more well-known, mostly because of their common appearances on the shelves of Hot Topic.
		According to SLG's website, for a while afterward Vado continued to publish books by his old friends (including writer Chuck Austen and Scott Saavedra, who later went on to become Slave Labor Graphics director) but soon expanded.
		SLG also has expanded with SwingWorks Gallery, which showcases the art of their creators, a line of toys based on their comics called Monkey Fun Toys, and a sports-wear line titled Drunken Monkey Apparel.

	STL COMICS - Thoughts From the Land of Frost - “TFTLOF WEEKLY Vol.1 #14” by ALEX NESS
		If you are familiar at all with the product of SLG you would have to say that it is good, but not a company you’d associate with anything to have ever come out from Disney.
		FROM HELL as an original graphic novel is considered by some writers and comic commentators to be one of the best examples of comics ever.
		While SLG has quirky, dark, and intellectual works, and people who work there tend to be bright, left of center talents, they are professionals.

		Slave Labor Graphics, Captain Dingleberry, Rick Remender, Harper Jaten, Rory Hensley
		Collecting all 6 issues of the original DC Comics mini-series, this book tells the tale of Matt Williams, the teenager who left his family and world behind in exchange for super-powers, but returns after 20 years, on the run from his alien masters, and without the welcome he hoped for.

		After 17 years in business, Slave Labor has established itself as a home for some of the most outrageous comics on the market.
		Both Vasquez and Dirge are sometimes thought of as "goth" cartoonists because of their comic interest in gloom and doom, and Slave Labor has had success at Hot Topic, the nationwide chain of goth mall stores.
		Several other popular Slave Labor books, like Little Gloomy and Gloomcookie, are in the same vein, but Vado dismisses the idea.

	NEWSARAMA.COM – DAN VADO ON SLG'S DISNEY DEAL
		There are more Disney comics coming, but this time, from a publisher few, if any, would’ve picked out of a lineup as potential suitors for the company that Walt and Mickey built.
		Announced at last weekend’s Book Expo America, Slave Labor Graphics, home to titles such as Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Lenore, Milk and Cheese, My Monkey’s Name is Jennifer, and an equally eclectic group of creators; has landed the rights to four new Disney-based comics: Haunted Mansion, Wonderland, Tron, and Gargoyles.
		While not the first time Slave Labor has published books based on licensed properties, the deal marks the first time the company has partnered with such a mainstream licensor, one that virtually guarantees a rise in the company’s profile.

		The history of Slave Labor Graphics is well-documented and many well-known cartoonists and rising stars have sought to place their creator owned projects in its production schedule, appreciating the creative freedom and quality product Vado and staff have offered now since 1986.
		KLEID: I was extremely impressed when I learned that SLG would be partnering with Disney to produce comic books based on some of their licenses.
		As the market moves more and more to wanting only graphic novels I think that digital sales will find a place alongside the regular pamphlet comic as a way to build an audience and a body of work.

	Sequential Tart: The Goth Genre and Slave Labor Graphics (vol III/iss 3/March 2000)
		Why readers responded to it as quickly and fervently as they did may be hard to quantify, but it remains a fact that this was one of the first of the new Goth genre comic books to really break into the fringes of mainstream.
		Based on its actions, its goals would not seem to be to crowd out or overtake the market and audience hold that larger publishers such as DC and Marvel hold, but rather to create their own niche and bring in their own readers.
		When asked what her favorite SLG comic book was, one Tart couldn't think of any until someone informed her that one of her favorite books was, in fact, published by SLG.

	Comic Book Resources - CBR News: New York Comic Con, Day Three: Slave Labor Graphics' Panel
		Vado went on to say that it is Slave Labor’s Mission Statement, and has been since the publisher first set up shop back in 1986, to do everything in its power possible to buck this trend.
		Vado was also extremely high on SLG’s upcoming “Ursa Minors!” series from the creative team of Neil Kleid, Paul Cote, and Fernado Pinto about a group of four youngsters who don robotic bear armor to combat evil.
		When asked what Slave Labor hoped to accomplish with its new Disney properties, Vado said, “What we’re trying to establish with these Disney licenses is to prove to people that we’re still here as a publishing company, and that we’re not going away any time soon either.”
