Release small press comics on time, or die a painful death!
“But if the retailer loves it, and you back him up by AT LEAST releasing the book when you say you do, you’ve got… a friend for life.”
But how many people actually do it? Cerebus. Poison Elves. … I’m sure there are others who come out when they say they are going to, but anything quarterly or less doesn’t help me as a retailer UNLESS it’s got a long shelf life and is pretty much self-contained. Do you know of any bi-monthly (or better) books that are high in quality and ship reasonably on time that have made it past issue say 6?
Most of the books on my previous list are notorious for being late. It can be frustrating for a retailer.
Then you get into that “well, if more retailers would support the little guys then they could be more timely” -circular catch-22 style argument.
