ABOUT US
Passionate about art and underground comics from an early age, Julian Huber founded The Mansion Press with a clear vision: to champion these two pillars of counterculture — essential yet all too often pushed to the margins of the global publishing landscape.
In a world where originality is too often smoothed out in favor of marketability, he chose a different path: an independent, free, obsessive publishing house, built to last, and unapologetically off the beaten track.
His approach is guided by several fundamental principles:
-
Respecting artists — those who dare to push boundaries, to experiment, to provoke. Too often underpaid or misrepresented, they are offered here a royalty rate far above the industry standard — a concrete acknowledgment of their work and commitment.
-
Unearthing and bringing together talent from across the world, with no concern for trends, nationality, or fame — only one criterion matters: the intensity of vision. The Mansion Press works to build a catalog that serves as a refuge for singular voices and radical imaginations.
-
Respecting readers, by offering demanding, carefully crafted books, made with obsession. Editorial objects designed to honor the artist’s work, far from disposable publishing or quick consumption.
-
Maintaining a strong, radical, and uncompromising editorial line, rejecting commercial pressures, passing trends, or aesthetic standardization. No softening here to please the algorithm — consistency comes first, and integrity drives every decision.
From the crypts of a shadowy mansion, somewhere in a dark valley in France, this obscure project is taking shape.
But The Mansion Press is more than a publishing house — it’s an obsession, an irrepressible urge to defend what disturbs, what overflows, what resists. A handcrafted machine, driven with fever, to give shape to a worldview where art never apologizes for existing.
