When Eric Stephenson was promoted to publisher of Image Comics in 2008, the company was struggling. Its market share was way down compared to Marvel and DC, and it wasn’t attracting the caliber of talent that could make it a legitimate competitor to these corporate-backed juggernauts. Stephenson helped dramatically change the direction of Image in his new role, and eight years later, Image has established itself as the best place to go for quality creator-owned monthly comics from some of the biggest names in the industry as well as promising new voices. Stephenson has also been active as a writer at Image in recent years with books like They’re Not Like Us and Nowhere Men, his ambitious tribute to science and rock ’n’ roll that returns with a new issue this month after a two-year break. Stephenson recently spoke to The A.V. Club about his goals for Image Comics, the development of his personal comics projects, and what readers can expect from the return of Nowhere Men.
