TWO IRL DSTLRY digital features debut at San Diego!

DSTLRY Introduces Groundbreaking Digital Collectible Innovations on Platform with Autographing & Sketching On Digital Comics and IRL Digital Ownership Verification

DSTLRY, the next-generation comics publisher and digital collectibles company, is excited to announce the launch of two pioneering initiatives, DSTLRY Remarques and DSTLRY Proof, at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2024 Booth #2314. These patent-pending innovations underscore DSTLRY’s commitment to enhancing both creator and customer experiences in the digital comics and digital collectibles industry.

DSTLRY Remarques: Personalized Digital Editions and Sketches:

Unveiling the DSTLRY Remarques feature during SDCC, this unique feature allows creators to sign and sketch on digital editions of DSTLRY issues and books, creating completely individualized and re-sellable editions. This innovation offers a personal touch to digital collectibles, enhancing their uniqueness and value for the customers, and like all collectibles on the marketplace, creators receive a percentage of every resale of the signed or sketched digital collectible.

How It Works:

Customers can display a QR code from their DSTLRY digital comic library.
Verified creators will use the signing app to scan the QR code and sign the digital edition on a tablet in front of the customer.
When completed, the signature or sketch is sent to the DSTLRY servers and recorded with full verification of the signature, and will be displayed when reading the edition.
Exclusive SDCC Signing Event: Signing will be available during SDCC (July 24-28, 2024).
Full-Color Sketches Coming Soon: Following SDCC, DSTLRY will expand this feature to include full-color sketches on sketch covers, offering even more personalized and collectible editions.

“I love how many options there are for reading comics these days, but when people find me at a convention and tell me their collection is digital the only thing I can do is joke about signing their iPad. Now I actually can?!” said Founding Creator Becky Cloonan. “DSTLRY Remarques is a game-changer! I can’t wait to see how it develops.”

DSTLRY Proof: IRL Benefits with Live Digital Ownership Verification:

At SDCC, DSTLRY will also debut DSTLRY Proof, a digital ownership verification tool designed to revolutionize digital ownership benefits, with in-person (IRL) digital ownership verification. The first application of DSTLRY Proof will be for obtaining the highly anticipated Mominu x Somna art toy, a limited-edition vinyl designer art toy colorway created by renowned artist Junko Mizuno. Mominu x Somna features metallic paints and a glow-in-the-dark candle. Inspired by Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay’s character Ingrid from their hit series Somna, this art toy will be offered for sale in an extremely limited run of 20 units per day over the five days of SDCC…but only to those with PROOF that they own digital copies of Somna or The Devil’s Cut on DSTLRY’s digital platform.

How It Works:

Customers who own digital editions of Somna or The Devil’s Cut on dstlry.co will have the exclusive opportunity to purchase the Mominu x Somna art toy.
To verify ownership, customers will navigate to their account area on the DSTLRY digital marketplace and generate a QR code.
The DSTLRY booth team at SDCC will scan the QR code to confirm ownership, allowing the customer to proceed with the purchase.

“DSTLRY Remarques and DSTLRY Proof exemplify our mission to merge the traditional comic experience with groundbreaking digital advancements,” said DSTLRY co-founder David Steinberger. “These features not only enhance the collector’s experience but also ensure that our creators are continuously supported through perpetual royalties via our digital marketplace.”

“These new tools reflect our dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the comic book industry,” added DSTLRY co-founder Chip Mosher. “By providing ways for fans to engage more deeply with their favorite creators and proving the value of digital ownership, we’re setting a new standard for how comics can be enjoyed and collected in the digital age.”
