Graphic.ly, which offers a digital content delivery platform for print comics book publishers, has purchased 10-year-old online comics book community iFanboy. Terms of the acquisition were not announced, although in a message on his site iFanboy co-founder Josh Flanagan says, “We are most emphatically not rich now.” iFanboy features comic book reviews, podcasts, and news—and Flanagan says the site will now be able to offer more content.
The deal comes less than two months after Graphic.ly raised $1.2 million in a first round of funding. The company says the purchase will let it integrate its platform “into the fandom community.” Graphic.ly’s clients include Disney’s Marvel (NYSE: DIS). More in the release.
