it's a strange and beautiful thing

    Look, the reality is that comics in general are hurting, especially mid-level books like ours. If you want books like I, Vampire, or independent books like my Last of the Greats, to continue, then you need to do three things. First off, stop stealing them. Secondly, if your friends are stealing them, tell them to stop being a jerk and cough up the cash. Finally, you need to be an advocate. Scream as much as possible about the books you love. Got a teenage girl you know who loves Twilight? Then give her your copy of I,Vampire. Know someone who loves Anne Rice novels? There you go.

    I don’t think people realize just how hard we work not just on making the comics but on trying to get them in people’s hands. Even with the, honestly, stellar work that DC does promoting books like ours, it’s just not enough. We need fans to realize the precariousness of the situation for all of comics, and help to build us towards something that’ll be here in five, 10, 20 years and beyond.
