The big comic book convention season is in high swing and I've just gotten word from the NY Con and Con in Fla this weekend.
Most folks seem to be in great spirits and I'm so happy that many of the younger guys I met years ago are now running the companies. I'm very proud of them. They worked their asses off to rise from gopher to editor to publisher.
It's a tough business only when you get some idiot who doesn't know how to do his job. Over the past several years more people who actually care about the industry have been promoted and some really awesome work has come out. I'm now more interested in working in mainstream comics again because I know nowadays the work will be looked after.
I know many of you grew up on comics and some have talent at writing or art or even administration. Believe it or not, most of you have the technical skills to publish and do graphics especially in the administration area.
Ever think about working in comics?
The 'New Avengers' series really caught my eye. There's a DVD out too that kicks ass I'm told.
btw, if you really want to treat yourself, find some of the old 'Creepy' 'Eerie', 'Vampirella' black and white magazines from the 60's and 70's. The art and stories are just outstanding.
