WHOA! I’M FAMOUS AGAIN!

August 28, 2008 at 11:07 am By: Dustin Harbin

Now up on Newsarama is an article I wrote for Matt Brady on selling Watchmen to customers–very apropros considering this Saturday’s Watchmen Discussion Group. Matt asked me to write something after a conversation he and Shari Brady and I had at the recent Mark Millar/Tony Harris signing. Sweet! This will increase the value of any copies of Superior Showcase #3 I’ve signed for anyone, so all FOUR of you go ahead and start thinking of how to spend all that money!

    I wonder how much my General Melee drawing will be worth then. :)

    What I would be interested to know is what the gateway folks thought of the second choice you suggested. did they come back for thirds? If so, what?

    I think Dustin hit it right on the head…follow Alan Moore for a while… it used to be about the character, and then it was about the artist, but now, it seems to me, it is the writer that can attract a consistent draw.
    From Hell– would the next book be V for Vendetta or the Alec stories. My guess would be V. But I could be wrong and I always digress.

    Nice wrting as usual MR Harbin!!

    Thanks, Andy!

    Chris, I SWEAR I will hook up your copy at SPX, if not draw you something bigger if you want it, just for having me at your booth.

    Jason, I AM in love with myself, but it’s not my face, believe me. If it were a handheld anything, it would be a tape recorder.

    Neil: your General Melee will not be worth anything until Guy sends it to me–I should tickle him again. Or are you referring to the one in your copy of the comic? THAT one is already priceless.

    Nice article, Dustin!

    I second Andy’s curiosity about whether the gateways returned for thirds.

    Guys, are you kidding? I’m a RETAIL SUPERMAN. People always come back for thirds. Me + awesome store + great book = lifelong customer. I would point to you both (Rich and Andy) as examples, although I have to share the credit with the rest of the staff.
