Help Wanted: Comics Promoters?
Comics Should Be Good offered an essay yesterday by the extremely likeable comics creator Jimmie Robinson that, in his own typically rambling style, makes a good point but lays the “blame” at the wrong doorstop: If you’re reading this, that alone makes you exceptional, makes you care about the medium of comics. You might even
