That's nothing to be ashamed of - I kept Top Cow in business for a few years in the early 90s buying Marc Silvestri-drawn T&A.

Marc, I'll check out your book. I'm back in civilised lands in October, so I'll look for it then.

On the subject of novels, did you go through a literary agent? Most of them sound like utter bastards (not just the ones who want money up front, who I'll avoid). I've got a 250 page novel in the final stages of polishing up, which will be finished by year's end. There are guides of literary agents, but if you know of anyone who is particularly good, I'd be obliged....
