Cole Dröws – Owner of Troubador Press

Publisher, Archivist, Intergalactic scoundrel, and keeper of forgotten stories.

Owner of Troubador Press, a revived independent press, where I reimagine vintage artbooks, comics, and zines, preserving their creative spirit while exploring new frontiers in storytelling and design. For now, it’s just me running the show, keeping the spirit of independent publishing alive one project at a time.

I am an Army veteran. I originally wanted to teach history after the military but found my true calling in social work related field, I spent years working with the unhoused and at-risk individuals to rebuild through stable housing, employment, and ensure they get the benefits they deserve. I have my BA in Social Science and an MBA. I am currently pursuing my Master of Library and Information Science MLIS with the intent to focus on special collections and failing legacy digital archives.
