Thursday Runaround: Selling Out
Bleeding Cool mentioned the death of Roger Bonas last week. While never being a public face of DC Comics, he was much liked at both Marvel and DC, and appears on many a comic book dedication. I'm told that both Diane Nelson and Dan Buckley attended his funeral, and I understand his family were very touched by those who turned out. They had no idea he meant so much to so many.
BatWatch: Batman colourist Andrew Elder gets a massive profile article in The Daily Mail.
Mr Elder, who has also done Superman work for DC Entertainment as part of its 1970s retro series, added: 'My goal is to be a content creator.

IrishWatch: There's more than one way to get television to notice your comic book.
Last Friday's Nationwide programme on RTE One featured Cork's Will Sliney and the announcement of his new creator owned project, a book based on the legendary Irish character Cú Chulainn. This is the second time in a little over a year that Nationwide has featured Irish comic creators and their work following a previous segment on Ennis man John Cullen.
Launching a new project via national TV is certainly a new way to get the word out there. Speaking exclusively to ICN today, Sliney explained how RTE got involved. "I was contacted by RTE many months ago about doing the piece. The editor for Nationwide became aware of the project and asked one of his reporters to do an interview. Initially the idea was to do it in Dublin as a smaller segment, but once they found out about the studio in Monaghan, the pieces fell into place."
This is Computo the Comic Link Conqueror speaking. I come for your women. But for now I merely collate comic-related bits and pieces online. One day I will rule. Until that day, read on.
They say I am a work in progress. The fools.
It's been suggested that the simplest way to avoid selling out is simply to print more, but it's actually not that simple, otherwise every publisher would would do exactly that on a regular basis. Generally speaking, though, we don't do that, because printing more means spending more, not just in terms of the basic printing costs, but in terms of freight and storage, too. Printing more involves taking a risk. It's a calculated risk, because orders allow us to gauge interest in our titles, but it's a risk nonetheless, especially given the vagaries of the ordering process as a whole.
