Fantagraphics Article
Nice article in this week's
SEATTLE WEEKLY about indie comic publisher Fantagraphics. The piece relates that in the 28-year history of the company, they've been on the brink of bankruptcy numerous times, but the company is currently enjoying relative stability as a result of their deal to publish the complete run of Charles Schulz's PEANUTS. The first volume of PEANUTS has sold over 100,000 copies in only four months of release, already more than any other title in Fantagraphics history. And the success of Fantagraphics is great news for everybody because it means they'll publish other cool comic/illustration books like
THE MISCHIEVOUS ART OF JIM FLORA, which should be shipping any day now. (via
