Jeff Webber
Founder, President
Jeff's history in comics, cartooning, and animation goes back quite a few years. At Andrews McMeel Universal, he led the team that created GoComics.com, working closely with classic comic-strips and creators such as Doonesbury by Gary Trudeau and Garfield by Jim Davis. GoComics was also an early phase mobile developer that brought the first comics to US mobile phones, with pre-iPhone comic reader apps and the very first iPhone comic book (fun trivia fact – the first iPhone comic was Jeff Smith’s Bone).
Partnering with Eaglemoss, a UK-based collectible business, Jeff introduced and managed a high-end book line featuring Star Trek, James Bond, Ghostbusters, and many more - all distributed through Penguin Random House Publisher Services.
At IDW Publishing, Jeff managed licensing, digital publishing, and foreign rights. His role was to lead IDW development with a broad range of technology companies, creators, brands and licensors.
