u would know every outlet for printing.
Like from the local kinko's and up? I'm pretty sue most of us know how to work a google, Don't know where PRINTING got into the conversation since we're talking about Distribution.
which doesn't print
I work for an "Local printer" or as you are calling it independent.
Quote:
as well as the four different free publishing ones,who take royalties only on copies sold.(they also promote, distribute,as well as print for a small fee)
You mean Lulu, CafePress, Devient art and... okay I only can think of the three off the top of my head.
Quote:
i have access to four printers. free. as ive known who owns them since kindergarten. i can use them anytime i want.
So someone you know is coincidently a printer. Better question is have you ASKED them if you can use their printer or because you know they you've assumed it's okay?

and secrecy in comics sells MORE comics.
What planet are you from?
Having a GOOD comic that everyone knows about sells MORE comic. If I see a plastic wrapped comic that no one knows about at a convention and an unwrapped one that I've hear loads about I'm gonna get the one I know about over the one I don't. I mean why the hell do you think Dragonball, Naruto, InuYasha and all those other crappy comics keep selling even though some of them are REALLY OLD.
Because EVERYONE knows them, it's like McDonalds even if it's crap it's familiar.
Quote:
and u cant make any money off of one or two titles.
Dr Slump and Dragon Ball. LOADS of cash, two titles.
SPAWN.
Loads of cash
One title.
Batman and Superman.
(Does DC even make anything else?)
Two Titles
One good title can make you more money then 100 crap titles.
Quote:
the only reason DC comics, and marvel comics make anything now,is off of multiple titles.
And because of years of consumer branding, customer loyalty and still producing GOOD INDUSTRY LEADING STUFF.
Quote:
hence why they still have said industry monopolized.
In North America, but that's getting to change as the anime wave is comic in and publishers like VIZ, Tokyopop and Dark Horse are getting Japanese artists out there leaving a big hole for the indi publishers to sneak in.
Quote:
and in DC comics case,warner bros. owns them,so yeah,they can afford any downside. and i am a legit business,and do NOT have to prove it to anyone, until time of sale.
You're a guy on a street corner saying you've got a MILLION DOLLERS worth of watches in your pocket but you don't have to prove it to anyone because after all, you've got a MILLION DOLLERS worth of watches!!
You're right, if you really got that MILLION DOLLERS worth of watches, you don't need to prove s**t to anyone. You can fap into a fistfull of bills if you wish.
But that doesn't mean anyone here has to believe you or shouldn't equally tell you we think you are full of horse s**t.
Quote:
nine other people responded to this in pm form. all also provided actual links to artwork online. i hired most of them. they also have proof that they actually know something about the industry, which is something YOU have yet ta prove.
I've published, there are links avalible to my comic and my web page and people don't have to PM me to get them. Other people on here have published and they're more then willing to let people see that they have. YOU on the other hand CLAIM to have a well to do business that is conducted in the deepest darkets corners of the world in utmost secrecy that magically generates wads of cash.
Lets see those 9 people you "Hired" testify for you and your legitamacy.
I could say 100 people are in my employ and one of them is a unicorn. I mean it's the internet PROVE ME WRONG!!
