One of the most well-known publishers of comics, Pantheon Books, an imprint of Random House, releases books fairly sporadically (they’ve only released two new books over the last couple years: Jessica Abel’s La Perdida and Kim Deitch’s Alias the Cat), but it looks like they’re ramping up for a big fall 2008.

Pantheon is gearing up for a big fall season in 2008 with plans to release five comics-related titles, including much anticipated works by Art Spiegelman, David Mazzucchelli and young comics artist David Heatley. In addition, Pantheon editorial director Dan Frank outlined plans to release an unusual Batman manga originally published in Japan in the late 1960s, a comics travel journal with work by Joe Sacco and Phoebe Gloeckner.
