History
The company was founded in October 2008 by Sam Arthur and Alex Spiro with the intention "to publish books that deserved to be printed."[4]
In January 2012 the company curated the two-week "This Is Not a Pop-Up" event at the Hayward Gallery shop, where-by they hosted musicians, artists and a workshop for children as well as offering their products for sale.[5] In September 2012 the company attended the Small Press Expo, with co-founder Arthur participating in the panel "British Comics: Does it Translate".[6]
In September 2013, Nobrow opened a New York City office, headed by Creative Director Alex Spiro.[1]
Aesthetic
Nobrow utilizes an idiosyncratic printing approach which allows the publisher to achieve a striking palette of colours in its books. It also carefully oversees the paper stock used, in order to create books that evoke a sense of history.[4] The company's publishing aesthetic has been described by Rob Clough in The Comics Journal as one "where design and color are often more important than line and narrative."[2]
