Amigo Comics is a Spanish company which publishes creator-owned comic books. However, despite being a Spanish company, its titles are solely published in the United States through Behemoth Comics.[4][1] Titles are also licensed out to other foreign publishers via foreign licensing agreements. In 2019, the company received its first Eisner nomination through the Best Archival Collection/Project—Strips category for their title Sky Masters of the Space Force: The Complete Sunday Strips in Color.[5] In March 2020, the company agreed to an imprint deal with Behemoth that would see all future releases published through Behemoth in the US.[1]
