Information on her/her agency is not as out there as I'd like but I notice Cheng Caplan Company (Angela Cheng Caplan) is not on your list and I know she represents Brian Wood...?

I've added her to the list! I know she represents Warren Ellis' film/TV stuff too, but he has a different literary agent.
Zefiris, check your PMs.

1. Anne Elizabeth's THE PENDULUM, in which a Greenwich gal with too much money and too much magical power, struggles to rein in her power and use it for the forces of good, to Sea Lion Books, for publication in October 2011, in a seven-book deal, by Eric Ruben
2. NYT bestselling author Gail Carriger's first three books in the Alexia Tarabotti series: Soulless, Changeless, and Blameless, to Kurt Hassler at Yen Press, by Kristin Nelson
3. F. Paul Wilson's REPAIRMAN JACK, graphic novels and comic books based on 3 book YA series with Tor, to David Dabel at Dabel Brothers, by Al Zuckerman at Writers House
All three are listed under "Graphic Novels" at Publishers Marketplace.
I took a look-- #2 and #3 are both novel adaptation sales, so I don't think I'll list those agents for now. There seem to be a lot of agents who will sell adaptation rights, but not represent GNs themselves.
I did add Eric Ruben to the list. Does anyone know anything more about him? Does he have any other sales? He seems to be a lawyer, so I'm not sure how he splits his time.
Sea Lion Books seems to be brand new, and all of their other planned titles are adaptations (and
multi-book ones at that). The 7-book deal certainly made me pause; I wonder how a brand new company is managing that?
Other changes/info!
First, Bernadette Baker-Baughman has gone back to Victoria Sanders agency, so Baker's Mark seems to be closed. Her
Twitter says "Send queries to my attention at

Beth Fleisher of Barry Goldblatt/BG Literary says she does *not* represent adult graphic novels. She's looking for "1) hybrid books "like wimpy kid" in terms of style, 2) middle grade and younger; 3) perhaps YA if it's YA fantasy adventure, or something that really stands out from the pack."
Additions!

"This fall, the graphic novel FARM 54 will be published by Fanfare."
"His interests are wide-ranging–basically whatever is well-written and creative–but they boil down in particular to literary and commercial fiction, popular (fun) science, young adult, sci-fi/fantasy and graphic novels (of both a traditional and literary bent)."

Represents Ken Niimura (previously drew I Kill Giants), Felipe Smith, Philippe Cardona to JAPANESE publishers. Don't query her if you want to be published in the US! She only sells to the Japanese market. Manga-influenced artists take note.

"Thus far, the number of non-native artists World-manga.com has managed to import and publish matches its years of operation: exactly three"

Also of note, art agency Pickled Ink was having a call for entries (deadline today, sorry for the late notice) to choose an artist for a graphic novel-- but they were asking for "character design of two lead characters; and a 20 frame sample sequence and a front cover design." Only the winner would be paid (£1000), and you have to be either a student or just graduated. No mention of publishing plans, just that they have a writer and the project needs an artist.

Whew. Sorry for the delay. And thanks again for all the new names and updates!
