This article examines the importance of translation in the field of comic book publishing. More precisely, it shows how certain players in this field—the publishers grouped together in the recently formed Alternative Publishers’ Union (APU)—position themselves in relation to this question, in a sector where translations of foreign works represent more than half of new titles published each year. To understand such elements, we focus first on an analysis of the APU catalogs in order to describe the methods of these publishing structures. We then focus on the languages translated by these publishers in order to define their potential specificity in relation to the rest of the sector where two languages, English and Japanese, dominate.
