	Comiket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Comiket, otherwise known as the Comic Market or CM is the world's largest comic convention held biannually in Tokyo, Japan.
		CM is held for the purpose of fans exchanging and communicating through their beloved hobby of dōjinshi.
		The continuing operation of CM is the responsibility of the Comic Market Preparatory Committee (CMPC).

	[rec.arts.comics] rec.arts.comics.misc FAQ: Part 3: Inside the Comic Book Industry
		To make matters worse, comics returned from the newsstand market can not be resold--they are usually "stripped." "Stripping" means that the covers of unsold/damaged comics are torn off, and returned for credit, while the rest of the comic is thrown away--or sometimes fraudulently resold, minus the cover.
		For comics alone, average monthly sales declined from 20.38 million dollars in 1997 down to 16.88 million dollars in 1999--a decline of about 17% over that three year period (with the bulk of the sales loss taking place from 1997 through 1998) for both comic books alone, and comic books and comic trade paperbacks combined.
		A comic publisher makes significantly more money off a comic sold via subscription (even after subscription discounts and shipping costs) than they do off of a comic sold through the direct market, because the distributor and the retailer don't take their "cuts" of the cover price.

	Thought Balloons: Institute: Kids are key to reviving Japan's comic market (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Weekly or monthly comics magazines continued their nine-year decline, with their estimated sales value dropping 5.1 percent from the previous year, to 254.9 billion yen.
		The market has been sustained by people in their late 20s and those in their 30s.
		Members of that age group have been a driving force for the comics market, and publishers target them with revised versions of comics they read when they were young.

		Comics were printed to order, or a little above what was ordered, making even recent issues hard to find and more collectable.
		When the owner of Mile High Comics, Chuck Ruzynski, literally called the back issue market " on fire," and when I read in the new Overstreet price guide other prominent dealers stating the same, I knew it was true.
		The comic book movies, a strong Marvel, on-line auctions, ["hey, I can pick up five copies of Spiderman Blue #1 and sell four on eBay for a profit"] the success of Marvel's Ultimate line, and other factors were not only saving comics, they were ushering in a new era of greatness!

	Comic Market 55
		For the first time visitor, Comic Market—held bi-annually at Tokyo Big Site and boasting 400,000 attendees a day—seems little more than a chaotic blend of fans, tables, doujinshi and cosplayers.
		If you are from out of the country, then chances are you went with a friend and waited around outside until opening time, or perhaps you managed to contact the International Department and were given directions on how to get into Comiket safely.
		For the past couple Comikets, the staff have had to deal with bomb threats along with the regular responsibility of organizing 23,000 circles—the groups of doujinshi publishers that attend Comiket.

	The Virtual Comic Book Convention -
		Comic books are also an enormous business, and collectors spend billions every year in the United States to buy both new and back issues for their collection.
		The advantages of ordering new comics directly are twofold: 1) By ordering a month in advance, the customer is assured he/she will never miss an issue which could sell out in a store; 2) Through low overhead and large volumes Westfield offers comics to its customers at a 30%+ discount to the cover price.
		These markets operate in much the same way and could realize many of the same benefits as the comic market from a centralized, nationwide, Internet market.

		With either model you sell only to the direct market (comic shops), where comic shop owners buy comics that are unreturnable to the publisher, and your earnings as a comics creator is based on your nearly instant sales to comic shops, not customers.
		It used to be the comic geeks and Star Trek fans, and the conventions reflected that.
		Comics (and publishing in general) are traditionally thought of as a bad risk when it comes to loans and investors.

		The story is a criticism of today’s capitalism in an intelligent and dynamic comic book about six under-cover extraterrestrial beings who face a long and terrifying battle to protect the earth from its tyrant leaders.
		The problem is that although it is relatively easy to develop new ideas and publish in the US comic market, you don’t know what kind of reaction you are going to have.
		But like you said the comic market is tough nowadays and readers don’t take chances to experience new publishers/books because in part these same new companies/books come and go in an eye blink.

		I like that Tokyopop, the fastest rising manga publisher (or comics publisher in general?), is embracing the direct market as well.
		I've not noticed local area comic stores reaching out to manga audiences, but I would think that if the main manga audience is buying in mainstream bookstore outlets, it shouldn't be hard to get them to buy their books at discount, and on reserve, in comic shops.

		While Humanoids have been distributing English-language versions of their books to the American market for the last few years, primarily in oversized, hardcover albums, the company entered into a distribution agreement with DC in January of last year, nominating DC Comics as the official English language publisher for its extensive catalog.
		In a time where British comics were struggling to keep up with their American counterparts, 2000AD launched a revolutionary movement all of its own, tapping into the cynicism, irreverent humour and attitude of the punks dressed up in the garb of pulp science fiction.
		EC Comics is legendary within the industry for its string of pulp horror books that enjoyed a great deal of success up until the stifling climate of the early Comic Code Authority years buried many of its titles, such as Tales from the Crypt, seemingly for good.

		All I know at the moment about the Comic Market convention is what I've read in this, the $16.00 convention guidebook that all the shops selling new manga are offering.
		It started mainly as a showcase for doujin, which are comic books published by individuals and small companies in small numbers; but now the convention is so big it showcases not only the doujin, but also larger established companies and magazines, and comic book related software and toys.
		There are movies and plenty of other minor events, as per any comic book convention, but the Comic Market -- nicknamed "Comiket" by its fans -- is distinct from others in the sheer size it has reached.
