- Because of the large volume of requests that we now receive, we've had to institute a fee for this work. (If you are interested in using a comic for business purposes, such as a presentation, newsletter or book, see information below.)
We offer a high-quality, black-and-white Photostat at full size (around 14 inches by 11 inches), suitable for framing at a cost of $50 each. Please note that while Sundays appear in color in the newspaper, we are unable to provide color copies; Sundays will be reproduced in black and white.
Original strips are unavailable. In addition, Charles Schulz, Scott Adams, etc., do not sign copies of their strips.
If you're interested, send a letter with enough information about the strip to make it traceable (the date, description or a readable photocopy from the newspaper), along with a check (or credit card information) payable to United Media at:
United Media
200 Madison Avenue, 4th Floor
New York, NY 10016
attn: Natasha Cooper
*A street address and phone number are necessary for Federal Express delivery. Please add $10 for international delivery.
A photocopy of the strip you're looking for is best. Simply asking for "The one where Dilbert is frustrated with his boss" or "Charlie Brown with Linus back in 1985, 1991 or 1994," won't help. Our archive system is pretty successful, but please be as specific as possible.
If you are interested in reprint, syndication, or merchandising rights or would like to advertise on United Media's web pages, the following UM staff are available to help.
- ONE-TIME REPRINTS FOR PUBLICATION
- Please send a letter or fax with a copy of the strip or article that you wish to use and with a brief explanation of how you intend to use it. Please include the type of publication (or topic of presentation) and the circulation of the publication (or how many people will see it). If it's a book, include whether you are seeking world or North American rights in English and also whether you need the art (we need a release date for the art and we also need to know if you want camera-ready art, electronic delivery on either a DOS or Mac disk or via email, etc...).
