Production and edit staff at Image, publisher of ‘Spawn’ and ‘The Walking Dead’ series, unveiled plans to unionize in what could be a test case watched by employees at larger companies.

“Labor organizing is something the staff at Image Comics have been discussing for a few years,” the Image staffers tell via email. “Many of us have backgrounds in or adjacent to unions, including several of the founders, whose work being successfully adapted for the big and small screen has meant working with or, in some cases, actually being represented by unions.”

While unions are a long-standing reality for the movie-making parent companies of publishers like DC and Marvel, the comic book industry has historically been resistant, with publishers having fired creators discussing the possibility in the past.
