Esteemed independent comics publisher Fantagraphics needs some help, and they're spreading the word in hopes that discriminating buyers will lend a hand.
The unexpected bankruptcy of their former distributor resulted in an uncollected bill of $70,000, so Fantagraphics had to go in search of loans to keep on running. Well, the loans have come due, and they're hoping that interested readers will help out by picking up a book or two from their warehouse, converting bound paper and ink to cold hard cash so they can get the banks off their back. Read the full story at their website, and check out their catalog for an extensive selection of very cool books by the likes of Chris Ware, Peter Bagge, Dan Clowes, and Joe Sacco, just to name a few. Award-winning stuff that goes far beyond the conventional definition of 'comic books'. A similar situation happened a year ago with Top Shelf, which was saved when the online comics-buying community heeded their call for help. Hope the same thing can happen now with Fantagraphics.  |
