Promotionally Speaking #2: Baby Steps

2008-07-31T20:09:06Z

Written By: Susan Soares
Welcome to the next phase in our journey into comic book promotions. Today we will talk about those preparation steps creators should take before they embark on a promotional campaign.

There are many artists, writers and creators in the comic book industry. There are hundreds of concepts and ideas out there as well. Novice creators often have the misconception that their story idea is marketable and promote-able for the sheer fact that the art is well-rendered and the story is well-written. In today’s society, those two elements are not enough to help carry a project to stardom. There has to be a hook, something that grabs the reader’s attention from the very beginning. And, it is critical for creators to identify what makes their product unique.

Fourth Panel Estate #3: Secretly a National Park

2008-07-18T16:21:29Z

Written By: Will Davies

I can’t normally talk about parallel universes without having to tap my own bile. It’s been something of an inflammatory subject, ever since those bastards from Parallel Earth Nine-and-a-Bit came over and started hiding all my small change. Fortunately the alternate reality presented in “Templar, Arizona” neither wreaks havoc on my oesophagus or penny jar as it is not wholly obsessed with the idea. The execution is somewhat more subtle than goatee’s and swastikas with the creator, Spike Trotman, focussing in on the titular town and all the colourful new cultures that exist within.

The Septagon Briefing #2: Conventions

2008-07-15T19:02:39Z

Written By: Dr. Preston Park Cooper

You want to make comics. Let’s say you’re a writer, which is what I know the best, being in that position myself. (What’s below will often work pretty well whomever and whatever you are, though.)

You want companies to pay attention to you, so you can get work published.

Here’s one way that many companies suggest doing this: come and meet them at conventions.

Fourth Panel Estate #2: Caught by the Fuzzy

2008-07-10T19:29:53Z

Written By: Will Davies

It’s true what they say about critics. Even the bits about Dagon and the hibiscus plant. We’re all horribly bitter people who failed to succeed in their chosen field and have to resort to shouting at people from the side lines. Fortunately there’s nothing better than failure to prepare you for industry journalism because all that experience that you garner not making films, or writing books or whatever at least qualifies you to waffle incessantly about the work of your would be peers. But no matter how professional you try to be, no matter how high your brow, the bitterness always seeps through one way or the other. It finally got to me this week and as a result I find myself in a very awkward position, because this week’s comic is without fault.

Fourth Panel Estate #1: The Future's Bright

2008-07-03T19:28:33Z

Written By: Will Davies

This is the Fourth Panel Estate, a column about web comics. Good web comics. Solely because I don’t have the vocal agility to rag on sub par junk. Also I lack a fetching hat and you can’t rag without the proper attire. I do however have galoshes which are the leg wear of choice for in depth review and bothering legitimate artists with inane and often pointless questions. I’ll be doing this weekly from now until one of two things happens. Either the column will bomb and Septagon will beat me up and leave me in a ditch or it’ll go really well, I’ll end up going too far and the secret web comic illuminati (read Dayfree Press) will come for me in the night with bolt cutters.

I've recently fallen on hard times (involving a worker's comp claim and now unemployment) and need to sell my Sailor Moon manga. All are in English and in very good condition. If I don't hear anything from anyone, I'll be putting them up on either ebay.com or half.com, but I don't want to resort to that. My collection includes:

Sailor Moon #'s 1, 3, 5-8
Sailor Moon SuperS #'s 1-4
Sailor Moon StarS #'s 1-3

It's an almost complete collection, only missing two mangas. I'm hoping to get at least thirty dollars for each book, or $200 for all of them. I've done a little research and this seems about the average price. If you're interested, please email me at zeedosh@gmail.com. If you'd like, I can put them up on ebay.com or half.com to make things easier/more secure. Please email me if you have any questions!
