  Checking on Modern Tales with Joey Manley, Part One
One imagines that Modern Tales Publisher Joey Manley must sleep with one eye open, so as to make sure his various projects continue to run as smoothly as possible.
When SBC first contacted Manley it was to discuss his role as sidekick on the new DivaLea Show starring Lea Hernandez (the weekly Internet radio show about webcomics and more).
In the second part, which will be published tomorrow, SBC and Manley discuss Girlamatic and the overall road ahead for Modern Tales, as well as the details behind the DivaLea Show and two other planned Internet radio shows.

  The History of Online Comics by T Campbell (Part 7) :: Comixpedia :: Covering the Digital Frontier of Comics Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Manley pursued this while vice-president of streamingmedia.com; at that time, it was his business to report on online entertainments of all forms.
Manley has many thoughts on webcomics and webcomics publishing, but his core belief, on which he founded Modern Tales in March 2002, is that certain people will gladly pay for content if given the chance to do so.
Manley is happiest as an innovator, and frequently asks questions on his blog and elsewhere ("Do Webcomics Have A Mainstream Already?") that seem designed to take him to the next big thing.

 POETRY AND PROSE FROM IN POSSE REVIEW
Sometimes Joey, or his lover, said, “We are not really lovers.”This almost always happened after a night at the adult bookstore, especially if one of them had been lucky and the other had not.
Joey kept a journal of his dreams.The spaceship carried the proudest remnants of a dying civilization: ten or twelve figurative paintings and all the infants of the dominant species.When it crash-landed on the other planet, its contents were grossly misinterpreted.
The doctor left the result of his lover’s HIV test on the answering machine, which Joey considered very non-professional.In the new apartment their birds flew all over the house, instead of just from tree limb to tree limb.

Lucky for comics, Joey is one of those individuals who is willing to roll up his sleeves and fix the problems he sees.
Joey, and the Modern Tales family of artists, writers, and editors are slowly working to elevate comics from 'hobby' to 'industry'.
Joey says, "Comics-related publications, both 'alternative' and 'mainstream,' expect their readers to be masters of arcane tribal knowledge and ritual; most comic book stores seem about as disreputable as porn shops to literary readers; and the graphic novel shelves at big box bookstores are clogged with gaudy melodrama, from both sides of the Pacific.

 The Comics Journal: ¡Journalista!
Manley all but states here that it's impossible for a sophisticated strip of any real depth to operate under the free model.
This is not to malign Joey Manley's business model; you could just as easily point out that only a handful of the cartoonists published by small-press companies like Fantagraphics and Slave Labor are earning enough from such products to pay the rent on a regular basis as well, and yet I'd hardly call them failures.
The situation may not be as simple as either Joey Manley or Clay Shirky would have you believe, but that doesn't mean that there isn't enough potential available for an optimist like Scott McCloud to set up shop and wait for the customers to arrive.

 Adventures In The Screen Trade
Manley goes a step further, "If our cartoonists are not making a living from online comics work within five years, we will have failed." He does not believe all this can be achieved from Modern Tales, but would like to think that his site will open the floodgates for a host of competitors.
Chris Mills - Manley's personal choice as editor - describes the sort of stories they hope to tell as, "Quality comics in various action-adventure genres currently ignored by mainstream comics." Mills further defines this as fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary and period adventure, crime, western, and war.
Their success is down to their grass-roots approach to the work, and to the visions of two men committed to a regular output of quality work.

With serializer.net, its fourth subscription-based webcomics line, the company is turning its attention to so-called "alternative" comics, the kind of graphical narratives that have more in common with literary novels, or the latest art film releases, than with the standard four-color slugfests that most Americans associate with the comic book form.
By presenting these materials on the web, our cartoonists are able to sidestep an awkward distribution chain, and present their works directly to people who would never, ever, under any circumstances, walk into a hat store.
