On a topic not unrelated to the previous post, there is currently an awful lot of chaos and crisis in the world of publishing, distributing and selling comic books. I have an e-mail folder here full of requests to explain it and I will do you the favor of not explaining it. I know very, very little about that end of the industry, though I can recognize panic and financial hardship when I see them. Boy, do I wish Tom Spurgeon was still around to explain it to you…and to me.
Heidi MacDonald has some words about it here. Go read Rob Salkowitz, too.
If you are a fan of the fine books and magazines we get from TwoMorrows Publishing, go read what John Morrow has to say about the situation his company is now in. You might get some real good bargains out of it.
