Ghost Machine/Image Comics Team Up With Comics On Coffee For New Coffee Roasts
by Olly MacNamee
The creator-owned and creator-operated media company, Ghost Machine, published by Image Comics have partnered up with family-owned, premium coffee brand Comics on Coffee, to create a new light roast coffee blend available for pre-order now, with more to come down the line.
Coffee enthusiast and Ghost Machine artist/writer Francis Manapul said of this new coffee:
“We’ve specifically chosen a shorter roast time so you can taste the complexity of the beans, from its subtle sweetness to hints of a fruity flavor. And of course, the lighter the roast the more caffeine you could get. Because you know…deadlines.”
While we’ve given Ghost Machine a good deal of coverage, from the initial announcement (here) to previewing each new issue that came out today (here), you may not have heard of Comics to Coffee. So, let’s give you some background:
“Founded by husband and wife team Tony and Tanya Scholl, Comics on Coffee is known for serving premium coffee to people who love comics, heroes, and Lord of the Rings. Their high-quality coffee beans are imported directly from farmers around the world and roasted at their facilities in Fort Myers, Florida. Tanya has always had a passion for drawing. Archie Comics and Batman sparked an interest in comics that got her drawing at a very young age. She designs all the Comics on Coffee bags and works closely with licensees to create stunning “collect-worthy” coffee bags for all fans. Tony is head roaster and logistics expert, traveling to different coffee farms to personally check the coffee quality and develop a relationship with the farmers.”
And here’s how they sealed the deal, on a trip to last month’s Megacon Orlando, as told by Tanya Scholl:
“Tony and I are super excited to work with Ghost Machine. These guys are our heroes. I’ve been studying their art and enjoying their stories for the past 15+ years. They are by far some of the absolute best creators DC and Image has ever had; and to see them continue on with their own titles is so exciting. I’m honored to be the fuel for their next journey!”
