This strategic move is yet another example of Webtoon’s continued commitment to reaching a broader audience and diversifying how comics are consumed in the digital age. By venturing further into the traditional print market through established publishers, Webtoon is bridging the gap between digital-first content and physical bookshelves, offering fans new ways to experience their favorite stories and attracting a new generation of readers who prefer physical copies of comics and graphic novels. This partnership not only highlights the growing influence of webcomics in the entertainment landscape, but also promises to make these widely popular stories more accessible than ever before.
Popular Digital Series Will Soon Be Available as Physical Books
The expanded partnership with Inklore and Ink Pop will introduce a large selection of Webtoon’s most beloved series to the print world, catering to both adult and younger audiences. Inklore, an imprint of Random House Worlds, has already had massive success with the print edition of Rachel Smythe’s Eisner award-winning Lore Olympus, a series boasting over 1.7 billion views on Webtoon.
Building on this triumph, Inklore is set to publish two more highly anticipated Webtoon Originals in 2026: Eleceed by Jeho Son and Zhena, with Midnight Poppy Land by Lilydusk and I Love Yoo by Quimchee following in 2027. Inklore focuses on a wide range of genres including romance, fantasy, science fiction, horror, and slice-of-life, ensuring that its print offerings have something to offer fans with varied literary tastes. This continued collaboration with Inklore is a prime example of the demand for physical editions of digitally native stories, allowing fans to collect and display their favorite stories on shelves.
