TKO Studios was co-founded in 2017 by entrepreneur Salvatore Simeone and writer/director Tze Chun; we have rapidly become one of the fastest growing independent graphic novel publishers in the world. TKO Studios was nominated for Publisher of the Year by Tripwire Magazine and we earned a 2020 Eisner Award nomination for our bestselling series SENTIENT. We work with some of the most talented writers and creators in the business, a roster that the Hollywood Reporter called "some of the most buzzed-about names in the industry.” And we're still growing! TKO Studios recently announced a partnership with production company MACRO, whose films have garnered nine Oscar nominations and one Oscar win for Viola Davis in Fences, to produce a film adaptation of TKO’s graphic novel THE BANKS, written by New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay and artist Ming Doyle. We're also thrilled that our co-founder Sal Simeone's recent collaboration with Steve Niles, LONESOME DAYS, SAVAGE NIGHTS, has been nominated for 2020 Bram Stoker Award.
