History
Emet Comics was founded in 2015 by Maytal Gilboa an ex-animation executive who recognized a void in the comic book community when it came to content with a female point of view. During Emet Comics first two years, the company has enjoyed many successes. In their first year, the company's title Zana by Jean Barker and Joey Granger, a fictional story about apartheid in a future South Africa, was nominated for the Dwayne McDuffie Award for Diversity in Comics. Also, in their first year, the company sold their title The Wendy Project by Melissa Jane Osborne and Veronica Fish, to Papercutz for English language distribution, and to Editoria Oceana for Spanish Language distribution.
In November 2016, the company announced the purchase of Rosy Press, a romance comics publisher focused on diverse stories about love and relationships. Emet announced that they would be continuing Rosy Press's successful Fresh Romance series as both a webcomic and printed graphic novel series.
