SpiderBaby Archives: Of Mice, Men, & Self-Publishers, Part 2

"Kultz" originally saw print in Epic Illustrated #6 (1981); we later found out Marvel had also sold the story for foreign reprint, without consulting or paying us, thus breaking the Epic contract terms. We never did see any compensation for that. Years later, I did arrange for a legal reprint of the story with editor Chris Gore for Film Threat, and split the meager income 50/50 with Steve.

comiXology's Steinberger On Digital Retail

Speaking of estimates, with the recent talk of exactly what kinds of sales numbers the digital market i pulling in and ICv2's gathering of sales charts for the Direct Market, could there be a similar list out for the digital space if comiXology and other companies like iVerse and Graphic.ly are interested? "I think that's going to be very difficult without a lot of publisher agreement," Steinberger said. "We put out a top ten list for our Comics By comiXology App as a promotional thing, and it got blown into this whole huge thing about how independents are ruling digital comic books. And we had said in our post that the list didn't include the branded Apps, so it didn't have the Marvel App, the DC App, the BOOM! App, the Image App — and of course those are driving plenty of great sales. So to draw any overall conclusions from what we did is misguided at best.
