Chris Pitzer Announces End Of AdHouse Distribution Business

Chris Pitzer of AdHouse Books has announced his intentions to bring to a slow close his distribution business, AdDistro. He cites structural improvements in how some of the major players he carried -- NoBrow, Koyama -- are being made available to comics fans. That squares up with my memory that the veteran boutique publisher made that move at a time when a lot of self-directed efforts in terms of carrying obscure comics material were careening off the road, flipping over and exploding A-Team style. Pitzer is still carrying a bunch of the material, and I can't imagine a nicer thing than to thank him for these last couple of years by liberating some of those comics from the company. Small- and micro-press distribution is an intriguing endeavor that seems to exhaust those that try it even when they're not focused elsewhere as Pitzer obviously would be with his more direct publishing efforts. It's a vital, necessary gig, though, and it's always welcome when someone wears that hat -- even if it's only a temporary, paper one.
