Bundled Extra: Anders Nilsen Gives Comics A Hello Again Wave, Pre-Selling His Tongues



Anders Nilsen popped up in my inbox a couple of days ago touting the first issues of his serialized Tongues, a book he's self-publishing ahead of its already-arranged book deal once collected. Self-serialization is something more than a few cartoonists are exploring, perhaps most notably Sammy Harkham and Kevin Huizenga with their series Crickets and Ganges respectively. I think it's a wonderful thing to try, although I dream even more of a specialty publisher making this model work for a lot of cartoonists including a few that just don't have the skills or mindset to pursue doing it on their own.

Looks like pre-orders are going on right now. I hope he sells a million. Anders is a very admirable cartoonist.
