Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. (often called Diamond Comics, DCD, or casually Diamond) is an American comic book distributor serving retailers in North America and worldwide. It transported comic books and graphic novels, as well as other popular culture products such as toys, games, and apparel, from comic book publishers or suppliers to retailers, before bankruptcy in 2025.
It is owned by Geppi Family Enterprises, which is also the parent company of Gemstone Publishing, E. Gerber Products, Diamond International Galleries, Hake's Americana & Collectibles, Morphy's Auctions, the Geppi's Entertainment Museum, and Baltimore magazine.
On May 16th 2025, the publishing arm and other subsidiaries of Diamond were sold to Sparkle Pop, a subsidiary of Ad Populum, while Alliance Game Distributors was sold to Universal Distribution. The acquisition included several companies under the Geppi Family Enterprises umbrella. Diamond's publishing arm was also the publisher of Previews, a monthly catalog/magazine showcasing upcoming comic books, graphic novels, toys, and other pop-culture merchandise. Diamond UK was sold to its management team.
Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. itself remains a separate entity involved in bankruptcy proceedings.
