Assembled, Zipped, Transferred And Downloaded: News From Digital

By Tom Spurgeon

* apparently Anne Elizabeth Moore and Melissa Mendes will be doing a series of short comics about Harvey Pekar.

* so yesterday I bought Katie Skelly's 10-page PDF birthday comic about Tonya Harding, which is a hell of a sentence to write. Anyway, it made me think that I don't know anything about single-issue releases in on-line PDF form, like that comic wa on Gumroach. I was perfectly happy to spend the money for that comic, but the fact that I don't hear about a bunch of people doing this makes me wonder if that's just a no-go on-line in terms of rounding up a lot of business. I have no idea what that means. I think that while people are happy to read comics that way now, we haven't found a lot of ways that money gets spent on-line. That's just a hunch on my part, though.

* here's a fascinating list: the top 25 comiXology submit program releases for 2014. I can't even make a decent summary statement out of that range of comics.

* finally: please, please Hellen Jo put your older comics on-line.
