Delcourt

Delcourt (French: [dɛlkuʁ]) is a French publishing house that specializes in comics and manga founded in 1986 through the fusion of the magazines Charlie Mensuel and Pilote. Guy Delcourt, chief editor of the latter, named the new publishing house Guy Delcourt Productions. Delcourt is the third largest publisher of Franco-Belgian comics, behind Média-Participations and Glénat, and produces some 480 comics a year.

Comics and manga publishers typically acquire through creator pitches, portfolio reviews at conventions, contests and agents. A pitch package normally includes a series synopsis, character designs and several finished sample pages. Many publishers post open-submission windows; outside them, unsolicited material may be discarded.
