Red String was first printed in 2005 as a self-published work under Gina Biggs's all-female comic group, Strawberry Comics. On May 1, 2006, the author announced that Dark Horse Comics had licensed the title for publication. The first seven chapters of the series, mostly edited and touched up for print with Dark Horse Comics, were collected into Volume 1 and released on January 28, 2007. Volume 2 was released January 30, 2008, and collected chapters eight through fourteen. The third volume comprised chapters fifteen through twenty one and was released on May 8, 2008. No further volumes will be published by Dark Horse.
The series continues to be released online for free. In addition, a full-color art book titled Threads was released by the author in 2006. Threads II, a follow-up artbook was released in early 2009 and is also self-published by the author.
There is also a radio play in production based on the comic. Crystal Miller of the Voice Acting Alliance initiated the project in September 2005, later passing the reigns to Biggs. On November 7, 2006, the first chapter was released, and as of April 2008, three chapters and one supplement have been released.
The comic is a member of the Create a Comic Project.

Famous quotes containing the words publication and/or history:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
