Image Comics Hires Three New Staff Members On Iventory, Sales And Marketing

Image Comics have taken on three staff members, Pat O’Connell, José Meza, and Dan Coyle.

O’Connell joins as Inventory Manager.

“He will be in charge of overseeing the movement of all Image Comics inventory between domestic and international printers, distributors, and creators. He will prioritize stock availability with a goal of maintaining ongoing sales momentum.”

Before this O’Connell clocked in over 14 years of comic industry experience working on the Sales team at DC Comics, Dynamite, and IDW.

O’Connell states:

“To say that Image Comics has an astounding roster of legendary talent and an enormous catalogue of ground breaking and award winning titles would be an understatement. I’m elated to have the opportunity to join the team and help make it easy for comic shops and customers to always get their hands on any Image book or comic they are dying to read!”

Meza becomes Specialty Sales Coordinator, in charge of handling the day-to-day sales coordination of the retailer exclusive covers program. His decades worth of experience in comics publishing has seen him work with Boom Studios in Sales and Exhibit Options as a Project Manager.

Meza says:

“For years, I’ve closely followed Image and have found their approach to comics publishing to be truly inspiring. I’ve even incorporated elements of their strategy into my own work when working across the aisle, and I’m now incredibly grateful for the opportunity to contribute directly to their continued success.”

Coyle joins the team as Marketing Content Associate.

“He will be supporting the Marketing department with various owned marketing initiatives including newsletters, website content, and social media.”

Previously he worked as a Shortboxed street team member/content creator and other projects you can see on @DieselDanComics.

Coyle adds:

“As a kid my passion for reading and collecting comics began with Image Comics, they are my childhood and my adulthood. The characters and stories weren’t the only appeal for me but the attitude that Image Comics has, influenced my young impressionable mind. Now I’m working for the same publisher that I’ve admired since childhood!? Pinch me, because this must be a dream! Coming from being a content creator on social media to being hired by Image Comics is the dream I’ve been chasing. I owe a lot to the online community and I hope to make them proud as the Image Comics Marketing Content Associate.”
