Christian Science Monitor]:
The rest of the publishing industry may have its worries, but in comic-book land, things are looking rosy. According to an article in USA Today, total sales of comic books were “strong” in 2008, while the graphic-novel category grew by 5%. Read the entire story.
This may be tied into the "
Lipstick Effect" that I posted about on Webcomics.com. In a bad economy, people actually spend
more on less-expensive mood enhancers like lipstick (and comics).
And that's nothing but good news for comics.
P.S. Would it be completely unlandish to predict the return of the Page 6 Girl in tabloid newspapers?
