The others will be along soon, we’re sure.Download Link: Judge Dredd The Complete Case Files 12 So, as a leading publisher of comics and genre fiction in the UK it’s great to have had Tor and others join us in the DRM-free world. In the years since 2006 we’ve acquired the SF imprint Solaris books begun simultaneous publishing in the UK and North America launched the children’s and YA literature imprint Ravenstone started our standalone ebook shop to go alongside and have seen our books feature on the best-seller lists time and time again.

Our founders and owners Jason and Chris Kingsley understood how important ownership was for a digital consumer, how being able to buy something and keep it was a vital part of the trust relationship between publisher and reader, and gamer. How was it that we took the step that most digitally-savvy publishers came to many years later?
