Studio 407 announced today that it has signed a non-exclusive agreement with comiXology for distribution of three of its titles on the iPhone. The first titles to be released will be Night and Fog, Smuggling Spirits, and Hybrid. The titles will be available through Comics by comiXology this October just in time for Halloween.
“Digital Comics are definitely changing the playing field,” explained Alex Leung, head of Studio 407 Comics. “We have always been on the edge of artistic innovation and this is the natural next step for us.”
The Comics by comiXology app is the market leading comic book store application, and heralds an entirely new comic book publishing and connected commerce model. With the Comics by comiXology app, comic book enthusiasts can read their comics in a format designed to preserve the comic book experience on an iPhone or iPod touch, and locate and connect with local retailers to purchase the printed version of the titles. Through relationships with comic book retailers, Comics by comiXology will increase both digital and print sales of comics and deliver a powerful mobile marketing tool for comic book publishers and retailers. Comics by comiXology offers a “guided view” that keeps the entire page of a comic intact, unlike other solutions where the page is cut into individual pictures the user browses like a photo application.
“One of the game-changing elements of our platform is the wide distribution of smaller publishers that have professional work that deserve a second look,” said David Steinberger, CEO of comiXology. “Studio 407 has great books, and we’re very happy to be able to provide them this avenue to reach a new audience.”

No news has been announced about whether comiXology would port its application to Palm's WebOS, Nokia's Maemos or Google Androids.
