My longtime friend has just been promoted to both President and Publisher of DC Comics (For details, click here). I forget which one he was before but he's both now. I have a tendency to claim that most senior execs of publishing firms are weasely, lying incompetents. This is because most are. Paul is that rare exception. In fact — keying off the above remarks — one of the reasons there's still a DC Comics is because of some smart moves that Paul made ten or more years ago.
