Book publishing :
With a Book Publishing turnover of almost 77M e in 2006, the Glénat Group is situated
within the top 15 French publishers.
Nearly 2/3 of this activity is devoted to Comic Strip (through Editions Glénat and Vents d’Ouest), reinforced by a fully expanding Manga activity (+19% from 2002 to 2003).
As for the Books, they represent nearly 15% of Group publishing turnover and are developing their publishing field into Mountains, the Sea, Heritage and also into Youth, Voyages and Discovery.
Comic Strip and Manga:
In the field of comic strip, Glénat and Vents d’Ouest today represent great names well known to all their followers.
But, equally, Glénat’s name has become synonymous with Manga : the first publisher to have implanted this style in France, Glénat is today no. 1 in this field, thanks to their exacting requirements of publishing choice, a strong partnership with Japanese publishers and a catalogue structured in a clear and readable way for its adherents : Shojo for girls, Shonen for boys, Seinen for adults.
Finally, Glénat is developing 2 special collections related to its graphic know-how : P'tit Glénat , a collection of sumptuously illustrated books aimed at young children ; Glénat Humour, which brings together the illustrations of a series of well-known artists (Serre, Blachon, Pessin…)
Today the Glénat Group is the leading independant player in comic strip in Europe and France (with almost 20% of the comic strip market in 2007). Sales for Titeuf now number more than 16 million albums, and Dragon Ball more than 17 million. The esoteric series (Le Triangle Secret, Décalogue, Le 3 e Testament,...) reconfirm their commercial success on the appearance of each new album : with almost 40 titles published to date and more than 2 million albums sold, they constitute from now on one of the “safe assets” of the catalogue. Other safe assets: Joe Bar Team, Peter Pan, Pacush Blues or Les Guides en BD through Vents d’Ouest; Les Maîtres de l’Orge, Mafalda, Les 7 Vies de l‘épervier, Sambre, Akira,
or Gunnm, through Glénat…
