Ms. Doran, I hope, that after you finish A Distant Soil, you write a nice, thick graphic novel about all this. Or... hold a fundraiser for The Hero Initiative where you, Mark Waid, and others try to top each other with horror stories.

After that, one more brand new post to wrap it all up with tidbits that didn't make it into the original series, and more important contract tips. VERY important contract tips. It makes me sad to know that young creators are still getting hoodwinked by the same contract swindles that nailed me years ago. The same lies about what makes a book "creator owned" are still out there. I am here to give young creators some ammo. The good news is, NONE of the people who gave me a hard time are giving young creators a hard time today. I have written reports that one publisher (which is pretty much defunct and not hiring creators to produce new material) was not paying royalties on reprints, but that was about ten years ago. (Maybe I should do a post on the process of collections.) Several creators who pushed the issue were eventually paid, but not before the schmuck former publisher threatened to sue them for complaining about not being paid. Some people never change.

I can't wait to reread the next installment. The pathos! Or the path-something. I imagine the next scene in the restaurant as starring those two dudes from Fargo, the rat faced guy and the blond guy who put the first guy in the wood chipper. At least, if I was casting the movie version, that's the effect I would go for XD oh yes I remember this. I can’t wait to reread the next installment. The pathos! Or the path-something.
