I’ve had folks get mad at me for simply suggesting a few low-cost promotional ideas in an email. Not demanding, not complaining, just putting forth a handful of options. Like, scoffing and tut-tutting in condescending disbelief.

“Comics are not a serious industry”, exhibit no.132: NO SALES CHARTS.

In a business where every publisher demonstrates an apparent allergy to making money by simply not even promoting books half the time, there is also not a mechanism to collectively track the sales of said books 🙃

The cover of Elizabeth Hand’s 2007 novel Pandora’s Bride, a sequel to The Bride of Frankenstein.

Doing my bit to ensure that folks who loved/hated/were mystified by/are interested in The Bride! look into Elizabeth Hand’s excellent 2007 novel Pandora’s Bride, in which the Bride survives her fiery fate at the end of the BoF and goes on a wild journey through the Weimar cabaret underground.

I just want to somehow recapture that glorious, almost ineffable, feeling of buying Vintage Crime/Black Lizard books in 1993, where every book you acquired was another piece in a lovely puzzle, a new volume in a secret library of the 20th century. For lack of a better word, it was COOL.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Secret Galaxy goes hard and shows once again that they’re REAL ONES. Excellent episode with a helluva ending. This one gets a fist of solidarity held way high up. ✊🏾

Anywhere you go, you’ll find people who are generous and kind and just trying to get by and make a little joy with their time on this earth.

Larry Hama posted online, “I am getting messages from Comics Gaters claiming that the vast majority of my fans are in their ranks. If this is true, I truly regret the last 40 years of my work. And I have to question the clarity of my writing if so many misinterpreted what I had to say all these years.”
