Inklore and Ink Pop, two graphic novel imprints under Penguin Random House, have announced a long-term partnership with WEBTOON Entertainment to publish 14 of the platform’s most popular webcomics in print over the next five years.
Unveiled at Anime Expo 2025 in Los Angeles over the weekend, the partnership will bring a diverse slate of manga, manhwa, manhua, and digital-first comics to bookstores across the U.S., expanding access to top WEBTOON titles for print readers.
Inklore, an adult comics imprint of the Random House Publishing Group and publisher of the Eisner Award-winning Lore Olympus, will release:
- ELECEED by Jeho Son and ZHENA in 2026 (anime adaptation recently announced for 2026 as well)
- Midnight Poppy Land by Lilydusk in 2027
- I Love Yoo by Quimchee in 2027
Ink Pop, the kids and YA comics line from Random House Children’s Books, will follow with:
- School Bus Graveyard by Red in Summer 2026
- Brass & Sass by antlerella in Fall 2026
- Swimming Lessons for a Mermaid by YONGCHAN in 2027
The initiative marks a significant move by both imprints to bring WEBTOON’s most-read digital series to a broader audience in physical format. Additional titles under the five-year plan will be announced at a later date.
