Top Shelf To Offer DRM-Free Graphic Novels

In an email sent out by Chris Staros, Top Shelf Productions is going to be offering up a line of graphic novels DRM-Free on their website. If you are not familiar with the term DRM-Free, it means you can buy it and play it on just about any device. It's offered in PDF, ePub or CBZ files that are not tied specifically to one reader or another.

The books are going to be offered on their website: topshelfcomix.com and include the much talked about March: Book One by Congressman John Lewis, the series The Surrogates that was turned into a Bruce Willis movie, The Underwater Welder by Jeff Lemire and the digital-exclusive Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer.

They are also offering very interesting deals. Taking Jeff Lemire's The Underwater Welder as the example. The book itself sells for $19.99 in print. You can get the DRM-Free digital version for just $6.99. That's a huge difference in price. But they have one more option that they call Add-On Pricing. Say you really want both, so you buy the print version for the $19.99 and you can get the digital version for only $2.99.  So a print copy to get signed and put away forever and a digital copy to read?

The full list of books they have made available now are:

— March: Book One by Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell ($7.99 digital, $1.99 with print purchase)
