(1/3) > >>

Alessandro Bottero:
Hello, how are you? i thought it would be nice to let you know about my publishbing project for the 2011. I'm an italian publisher, and i work mostly with comic nook. in the summer of 2010 i discovered this site, and it was awesome. After some reading, some reaserch, and some inquiry to the right people, i decided to publish some of the golden age public domain stories, in Italy.
i don't bore you with all the tech details. Let me just say i'll publish 100-pages tpb, with stories, and essays about some of the best authours (IMHO) of that era.
here's my publishing plan
1 -  Jack Kirby Strange World of your dreams  - PRIZE
2 – Fletcher Hanks  Starro the Super Wizard Fantastic Comics 1-7 - Fox Feature Syndacate
3 – Walt Kelly Animal Comics   - Dell
4 – Steve Ditko The Thing  - Charlton
5 – Matt Baker Phantom Lady / All Top Comics  -  Fox Feature Syndacate
6 – Jack Kirby Young Romance - Prize
7 – Will Eisner Espionage - Quality
8 – Jack Cole Midnight, da Smash Comics - Quality
9 – Lou Fine Black Condor, da Crack Comics - Quality
10 - Basil Wolverton (Storie horror e di fantascienza)
11 – Frank Frazetta (Thunda, horror e fantascienza)
12 – Joe Kubert Tor - St. John Publications

John C:
Good to hear!  I don't read a word of Italian, so I'm not in the likely customer pool, but it's still good to see this stuff in use.  Good luck!

Spread around the gold

Yoc:
Yes, good luck with your project AB!

Alessandro Bottero:
thanks. i appreciate your kind words. I'm also a realist, and i know this kind of project can't appeal the masses. it will be a niche-oriented project, with small print numbers.
me and my partner in this operation (another publisher, wich will publish six other tpb with other stories), wil use the scans. he is able to work on some fiche-scan too, and make them ok for a printing.
could i ask you (i mean the DCM staff) if i should need some specific comics? for example.....Smash Comics 14, with first Ray story from Lou Fne, is a fiche. is possible to have a paper-scan?
