It is located in New Castle, Pennsylvania. Its first published title was ''Gil Kane: Art of the Comics'', written by Herman. He then decided to take Hermes Press in an art book direction, publishing both Joe Chiodo and Bill Sienkiewicz's art books. From there Herman focused on comic book reprints and new comic book adaptations and original works. An example of this is in ''The Phantom'', which is into the eighth installment of the daily comic strip reprints.〔 In 2009 Hermes Press entered into an agreement with Dan Curtis Productions to reprint the Gold Key comic of ''Dark Shadows'', signifying Hermes's entrance into large-scale reprints, followed closely by their agreement with King Features Syndicate to reprint 'The Phantom'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hermes Press」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
