Ego comme x became famous thanks to the publication of JOURNAL by Fabrice Neaud, which had an important part in the French artistic comics movement of the 1990s. They now have more than 60 books in their catalogue. They are mostly interested in introspection and autobiographies.

They published English-speaking authors for a few years, like Jeffrey Brown, James Kochalka, Karl Stevens and John Porcellino. They also published "the man without quality", the famous book from Japanese author Yoshiharu Tsuge, only available in Japanese and in French.

In 2006, Ego comme x started to publish literature.
In 2011, they started a collection of books printed on demand.
In 2016, unable to secure financing for further operation, Ego comme x closed down.
