June 30th, 2020 — Scout Comics & Entertainment Inc. is proud to announce that David Byrne and Charlie Stickney have been promoted to Co-Publishers as the company continues to expand its publishing program and multi-media presence.
James Pruett has shifted his focus to concentrate on his role as Chief Creative Officer and will work closely with CEO Brendan Deneen to expand the company’s presence in the bookstore market and to further exploit Scout’s foreign language, multimedia, and merchandising opportunities.
David Byrne began his Scout career as a production designer in 2019, bringing his film and business education and experience as an editor, writer, and retailer to the team. He has spent the better part of two decades in sales, and owned and operated independent publisher W.i.N. Pictures, producing the hit comic Stake and such well received titles as Color Me Yellow, Daisy Gets a Brother, Shady Place, and The Couch.
As Co-Publisher, Charlie Stickney emphasizes a creator-first approach, designed to empower writers and artists to help bring their vision to the marketplace. Stickney is the writer/co-creator of the comic book series White Ash, The Game, Glarien and The Adept. In addition, Charlie has spent the last twenty-plus years writing and producing animation, film and television. After interning at Marvel Comics, Stickney moved to Los Angeles where he developed and ran the animated series Horrible Histories for Scholastic Entertainment, and Cosmic Quantum Ray for Mike Young Productions. Charlie has also produced content for Sony Pictures, ITV, Universal Pictures, Revolution Studios, and Hulu.
David and Charlie join Deneen and Pruett, as well as the rest of the Scout executive team, including James Haick (President), Tennessee Edwards (Chief Strategy Officer), and Don Handfield (Chief Media Officer), in expanding the publishing and multimedia company as it continues its exponential growth.
Scout Comics has a catalog of over a hundred comic book series that run the gamut of genres, and the company has film and TV projects set up at Amazon Studios and Disney/Freeform, among many others. Its mission as a publisher is to find innovative creator-owned voices that take the sequential art form and push the medium to its limits and beyond.
