Shadow Zone

Shadow Zone is a Danish comic-book publisher (forlag) that releases graphic novels, albums and series in Danish. According to the Danish Wikipedia entry, the company was started in 2000 under the name Shadow Zone Media, and its owner and editor is Bjarne Kristensen. The publisher's own website states that the imprint 'Forlaget Shadow Zone' debuted in 2007 with the publication of the series about the nightmare detective Dylan Dog by Tiziano Sclavi. These two dates reflect the company's evolution: an earlier venture launched in 2000 as Shadow Zone Media, and the current publishing imprint that made its debut in 2007. Shadow Zone's stated mission is to publish comics that invite the reader on a journey into the world of imagination, with a particular emphasis on comics that are entertaining. Its guiding beacons are suspense, adventure and humor. The catalogue spans a broad range of European and international series, including Bedste Venner, Clifton and Clifton-Arkiverne, Conan af Cimmeria, Dyreriget, Ekho spejlverdenen, Fanden til præst, Fraternity, Giacomo C., Harmony, Kureren, Long John Silver, MKKL, Overmand, Raven, Ridderne af Heliopolis, Shi, Shelton & Felter, Undertaker and Universal War One, alongside the Shadow Zone Serier line and the horror imprint Gysets Mestre, plus Ken Parker and Samuel Stern. The publisher distributes its comics through most comic-book shops in Denmark. Its albums and book releases can be ordered from all Danish bookstores, and can also be ordered online from retailers such as booktok.dk, fantask.dk, faraos.dk, gucca.dk, plusbog.dk, saxo.com, stribeladen.com, williamdam.dk and other web shops. Shadow Zone maintains a newsletter and a website that lists new titles and forthcoming titles, with release dates such as 10 March 2026 and 22 April 2026 appearing on the site at the time of capture. As a small independent publisher, Shadow Zone occupies a niche in the Danish comics market, focusing on translated European adventure and genre comics rather than mainstream superhero fare. Its editorial identity is built around suspense, adventure and humor, and its flagship series include Dylan Dog, Undertaker, Conan af Cimmeria and Ekho. The company is privately held and remains active, with Bjarne Kristensen as owner and editor.
