Neon Ichiban’s co-founders are the folks behind Comixology, which redefined how people access comics:
David Steinberger
Co-founder & Former CEO of Comixology
David Steinberger spent 15 years building the digital comics platform that reshaped the industry. Under his leadership, Comixology became the dominant digital comics destination and was acquired by Amazon, where he led its global digital comics strategy. A tech innovator with deep comics roots, he holds an MBA from NYU Stern and degrees in vocal music performance.
Chip Mosher
Comics Industry Veteran
A comics industry veteran with experience in publishing, marketing, and editorial strategy. At Comixology, he helped drive growth across business development and communications and later launched the Eisner-winning Comixology Originals.

Together in 2023, David and Chip co-founded DSTLRY—the Eisner-winning boutique publisher and groundbreaking digital marketplace—and now, with Neon Ichiban, they’re scaling that innovation to a global stage. They know what’s been lost in today’s digital platforms—and what needs to come next. With Neon Ichiban, they’re building a smarter, more creator-connected, and fan-focused ecosystem. A space for everyone who loves sequential storytelling—from superhero devotees to manga explorers.
