List of 150 Companies to work for as an Illustrator, Artist or Graphic Designer: Comic Book Publishers, Role Playing, Card and Board Games

On this list you will find all companies we could find (exactly 150 of them) related to comic book publishing, graphic novels, illustrated books, as well as publishers of role playing games, board games, card games, etc. The list includes both small and large companies.

On the list you may find companies that are not directly related to the comic industry, although they may have published something along those lines in the past and they may have changed their editorial strategy, or simply because they operate on other industries mostly. We include them here anyway as they can serve for some people to find a job as an illustrator or an artist in other industries.

The companies that publish other products and more generalistic books may also be useful for you to be aware of, since they also hire artists for covers, marketing illustrations, graphic designers, etc.

¿Do you know other companies and publishers that are not on this list? Leave it in the comments section so that we can build the best possible list.

Apart from applying directly to companies and studios such as those listed above, another powerful way of finding work as an illustrator or graphic designer is through online hiring platforms.

There are online platforms where clients can find and hire freelancers directly. One of the leading platforms for this kind of client-freelancer relationship in the Illustration & Design industry is Toptal.com.

On such online platforms, clients who need to hire a Graphic Designer or Illustrator will post their job requirements and they can hire a graphic designer or illustrator with the right profile and experience for the job.

If you are trying to break into the graphic design or illustration industry, or if you want to build your client base and get work as a designer or illustrator, you should be aware of these platforms and how they work.

Toptal.com is a reference platform in this sector where you can find some of the most highly skilled designers and illustrators.

They have a nice guide article which is worth reading if you are looking to thrive in the Illustration & Design industry. We encourage you to read through it, as it has good insights into how the process of hiring (or, from your point of view, being hired) as an Illustrator or Designer looks like.

Here you can have a look at Toptal's guide "How to Hire a Great Illustrator".

In the article above you can read some valuable things about how your potential clients approach the process of hiring an illustrator or designer. This can be a powerful resource for an illustrator or designer trying to get work, as it lets you see how your potential clients think and what they are looking for when they hire this kind of professional.

There are other online platforms such as Upwork, Fiverr, or Freelancer.com, where illustrators and designers can offer their services directly to clients. Each of these platforms have their own pros and cons, so we encourage you to get familiar with these platforms as more and more of the connections between clients and design professionals happen through this type of websites.

​

We hope you may find something useful on this list, perhaps you may find some company here that you can reach out to in order to work as an illustrator, artist or graphic designer.

And if you know any other company that is not on this list yet, and that can be of interest to other people looking for work in this sector, please leave it in the comments section below, this way we will be able to build the best possible list that may help as many people as possible. Thank you.
