Chicago Comics Retailer Eric Kirsammer Named To ComicsPro Board Of Directors

Well-regarded retailer Eric Kirsammer was named to the Board of Directors for the ComicsPro retailer advocacy group, it was announced earlier today. Kirsammer's a good choice because of his place in the volatile Chicago retail market, his experience getting through the last tough period for comics when some of his competitors did not make it to the other side, and the twin experiences of having a full-service comic store and a specialty comics/'zine shop, Quimby's. I'm sure Quimby's all by itself has a series of problems that might benefit the wider industry by being put out there, or at least shaping retailer policy generally. Kirsammer replaces Ben Trujillo of Star Clipper Comics, who will use the extra time in his schedule on his story and his retailer POS system Moby.
