Go, Read: Eric Stephenson Always Gives Good Speech Here is the text of his speech to ComicsPRO. I like Eric and I like his speeches; I tend to be kind of wary of biting down hard on anything without a self-critical component, but that's because I have issues. I think he presents a lot of what Image does well and how that company could fashion the comic shop part of the industry around it a bit more in a positive way very well in that speech.
