BUILDING A PULL LIST

Fans can create a Pull List, download it, and share it with their local comic shop to order – for more details click here.

Retailers in the United States can enter their list in Penguin Random House Self-Service. Retailers can learn more about ordering here.

It’s easy to build a Pull List on our site!

Tap the heart next to any book you wish to add to your list. Tap it again if you wish to remove. The pull list counter at top will update to reflect the number of titles you have in your list. You can hover over the pull list button in the header to see a dropdown of the titles in your pull list.

Download your pull list to view your collection of titles in a grid format. You can then email this collection to your local comic shop, or upload it to the BIZ site if you are a comic shop retailer.

Depending on your computer preferences (i.e. you need to allow cookies), your pull list may not be available the next time you visit the site, so please do download your pull list before you leave. The download functionality may also be impacted by the browser you’re using; in our tests, we noted that Chrome seems to work best with both excel and pdf downloads. If you’re using Firefox, please “save” the excel grid to your desktop before you open it.


CREDIT & ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Please refer to your invoice and/or statement for the remittance address to use for submitting payments. For additional assistance with your account, please contact your Credit Representative by calling 1-800-726-0600.

Catalogs can be found here. You can also explore our site to find titles by favorite publishers like Marvel, IDW, Del Rey, Kodansha, Seven Seas, DC, and more. The site also has functionality for you to discover by key categories like graphic novels, children’s books, games, comics, and much, much more!

The PRH Panels catalog is currently digital only. If you’re a fan and would like to get a physical copy of the Marvel Previews catalog please contact your local comic shop.

Comic shop retailers can order their quantity of Marvel Previews bundles on the BIZ site.
