Label 619 is a French publishing label known for its innovative and eclectic approach to comics and pop culture. Founded with the launch of the quarterly magazine Hey !, created by Anne and Julien, the label has always aimed to challenge traditional boundaries and aesthetic rules. The magazine, along with art books like Diary of inhuman species and Juxtapoz, has showcased artists from diverse fields such as pop culture, illustration, street art, and tattooing, promoting a vision of art that avoids elitism and hierarchy. Label 619 has focused on breaking down barriers between different formats, disciplines, and cultures, emphasizing areas like comics, manga, graphic design, cinema, graffiti, and contemporary art. Its publications include both art books and comics, and the label's original logo, which read "Art, Design & Comic Books," may soon be replaced with "BandesDessinée." The label has also experimented with various formats, including DoggyBags and Lowreader, which are inspired by American pulp literature and horror stories. These publications feature multiple stories per volume and have included works by authors such as Run, Florent Maudoux, and Valérie Mangin. DoggyBags ended after 17 volumes due to a collaboration with Ankama, but Lowreader continues, with its latest album released in late 2024. Label 619 has also published works by acquiring rights, such as Tank Girl and Sons of Anarchy, but its main focus has been on supporting original creation and new authors. The label is currently managed by Run and three associates, all of whom are also creators, which fosters a strong relationship with the artists it publishes. The label has also worked to document and celebrate aspects of pop culture often overlooked, such as in Nanardland - Le livre des mauvais films sympathique - Episode 1, which was inspired by the website Nanarland and aimed to archive "sympathetic" bad films. Label 619 has played a significant role in mentoring new generations of artists, with creators like Guillaume Singelin and Anne Masse crediting the label for its influence. Its editorial style has reached international audiences, with translations in several countries and a partnership with Magnetic Press in the United States. The label has also signed an exclusive contract with Magnetic Press to bring its publications to American readers, often preceded by crowdfunding campaigns on Kickstarter. One such campaign for Silent Jenny raised 265,000 euros and included a special edition miniature sculpture. Label 619 has been recognized for its innovative graphic and narrative approaches in genre comics and its contributions to the evolution of science fiction, particularly the spacepunk subgenre. The label has explored various formats and maintained high editorial standards, reflecting a modern and dynamic approach. It has helped shape the careers of multiple generations of artists, many of whom have developed their own styles influenced by the label. Around its founding figure, Run, the label's creators are now gaining international recognition, continuing the momentum from its editorial partnership with Rue de Sèvres.
