Anonymous asked: Hi--Matt Wyatt here. I have a self-published comic to sell. I would like your P. O. box to send you a sample for consideration. I tried to include my email address, but the Tumblr god would not let me include it. I leave it to you, then, to let me know how to send you a copy. Thanks-Matt
Anonymous asked: Hi Tony, I was wondering if you could be interested in representing books for me. I have a new 112 page issue of Big Plans coming out and need some help getting it out there. Can I send you a copy to preview? Also, I have several other books that could use help. Thanks Tony! Sincerely, Aron Nels Steinke

Looking for Distribution
Hi Tony,
This is writer/artist Dan Cooney and I’ve heard great things about your ability to get books into stores. Diamond has been distributing my crime fiction series, Valentine since 1997, but earlier this year pulled the plug on reorders to retailers who still stock my books. Is there any way you can help me?

The Wolf by Tom Neely; Neely page created
As I type this, I’m sweating. It’s not just the temperature or humidity. It’s also the insane lack of orders and bad news from two sources of comics that has been creeping through my brain since I heard.
It’s the perfect time, then, for Tom Neely’s new book, The Wolf. A cover is attached. A page has been created for all Neely’s comics.

The Death of Elijah Lovejoy: best handmade comic...
In a stunning defense of freedom of the press, The Death of Elijah Lovejoy tells the story of an abolitionist publisher under siege by a pro-slavery mob before The War Between The States. Lovingly printed by www.2dcloud.com, and skillfully illustrated by Noah Van Sciver (Blammo), this has my vote for the best handmade minicomic of 2011 so far.
Retailers may see the 2dCloud page on the Client List...
