 About the Dark Spiral
A lot of comics-makers get so wrapped up in their own work that other comics don't really register on their radar anymore; they'll stop reading new works and stop keeping up with what's going on in comics, sometimes out of a lack of time, sometimes out of a lack of desire.
Now I get a lot of free comics from younger artists who give me their books at conventions, so the work I'm exposed to is pretty fresh and enthusiastic, and I like that exposure.
I park a laptop by my drawing board and convert the script to a comics lettering font and physically measure the width of the balloons against the tab of the text and wrap each piece of dialogue.

 Tales From the Database - Mile High Comics, Chuck Rozanski
Part of that growth was ostensibly spurred by the purchasing of multiple copies of new comics for future sale, by fans eager to replicate the enormous "profits" generated by older fans who had purchased comics during the 1970's.
While I'm sure that most comics fans know of someone who was purchasing large quantities of new comics during that period of time, I really haven't seen many private collections offered to me that include a large number of duplicates.
They actually thought all the comics they were printing were selling to eager fans, when in fact, I estimate that at least 30% of all the comics being published from 1990-1994 ended up as overstock in comics dealers inventories.

Thus the death spiral: fewer readers lead to heightened fears of risk lead to a page populated almost exclusively by "golf strips." This, not surprisingly, leads in turn to fewer readers.
Compared to other entertainment options, the comics page offers a standard of humor which is startlingly unfunny, a decency standard 40 years behind the times, and an entirely defensive long-term strategy best described as "hammer your niche until you die." There are standouts of course, but the industry's exemplars (e.g.
Ask your under-55 peers about their favorite comics and they'll likely either answer "I don't read the comics anymore" or cite such shows as "The Simpsons," "King of the Hill," "Dr. Katz" and "South Park." The talent on the comics page didn't disappear, after all -- it just moved elsewhere.

 Sequential Tart: Aaron Renier -- Spiral Bound for Adventure (vol VIII/iss 12/December 2005)
All ages adventure comics are few and far between, especially ones that are intelligent as well as fun.
Comics were once more evenly distributed across demographics, but in this age of hyper-niche sensitivity and marketing polls, a vast majority of comics alienate our younger readers.

There are still a number of stores like Jim Hanley's, Comic Relief, Chicago Comics, the Beguiling, Rocketship and so on who can be counted on to have the best and most informed selections of comics and graphic novels -- something that is still uneven in many book chains.
So you can explain to them that comics do not sell, original graphic novels sell very well, and that with an advance, the payoff is better to wait, but if they want to see their story serialized, then what can you do.
Bergting picked a fine avenue for his comic book debut; fantasy comics may be the last place in the medium's present moment where the visual still drives the car, counting on that ability art has to transport and fire the imagination, particularly along well-worn lines.

Not overly familiar with comic history or even contemporary comics, this book provided a useful reintroduction to the medium.
Taking note of the political climate at the time comics began to take of, Knowles writes that “[a]s America struggled to emerge from the Great Depression, the symbols and stories of the old gods reentered American culture.

Cheesecake art isn't really our cup of tea, but Felony, the lead character is probably one of the most attractive pieces of cheesecake in the last twenty years, and she is certainly far more attractive and interesting than anything DC and Marvel have going right now.
A totally uninteresting comic that ignores recent developments in the series it's an outgrowth of, with a needlessly complicated "prelude" to an upcoming storyline that has a merely tangential connection to the series in question: yes, it's an Annual.
