Hermes Press is an American publisher of art books, comic books, and comic book reprints. The company was founded in 2001 and in the past published the re-imagining of the comic book Buck Rogers, drawn by Howard Chaykin. Over the last 10 years Hermes Press has published over 100 titles.
The company was initially known for popular culture art books such as Works of Art: Joe Chiodo (2003) and Bill Sienkiewicz: Precursor (2004), and later moved on to reprints of famous comic book strips, such as Gil Kane and Ron Goulart's Star Hawks: The Complete Series (2004). Hermes Press now specializes in reprinting comic books and comic strips, acquiring the rights to Buck Rogers and The Phantom, among others.
On February 20, 2015, publisher Dan Herman appeared on the official Hermes Press YouTube channel to discuss the second issue of the original Phantom comic series that came out in March 2015.
In January 2016, Hermes Press announced via their blog that they would begin reprinting Walt Kelly's Peter Wheat.
In May 2016 Hermes Press announced, via their Free Comic Book Day back cover and a separate press release, that veteran artist Sean Joyce and writer Ron Goulart would be teaming up to create a new Phantom mini-series.
For the San Diego Comic Convention in July 2016 Hermes Press premiered advance copies of The Art of Jim Davis' Garfield at the show, and also hosted Jim Davis at their booth and at a panel.
Hermes Press was formed in 2001 by Daniel Herman. It is located in New Castle, Pennsylvania. Hermes published only four titles - in an artist's book direction - in its first three years of existence: Gil Kane: Art of the Comics, written by Herman (2001); Gil Kane: Art and Interviews" (2002); "Bill Sienkiewicz: Precursor" (2002); "Works of Art: Joe Chiodo" (2003). From there Herman focused on comic strip series reprints (Star Hawks, Buck Rogers, The Phantom, et al), and later comic book series reprints and newly commissioned comic book adaptations and other original works. An example of this is in The Phantom, which is into the tenth installment of the daily comic strip reprints.
