Comments on: The overdue death of the comics pamphlet http://peteashton.com/2007/11/the_overdue_deatgh_of_the_comics_pamphlet/ June 2000 to June 2010 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 21:48:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jeremy Dennis http://peteashton.com/2007/11/the_overdue_deatgh_of_the_comics_pamphlet/comment-page-1/#comment-20718 Jeremy Dennis Mon, 26 Nov 2007 12:06:58 +0000 http://peteashton.com/2007/11/the_overdue_deatgh_of_the_comics_pamphlet/#comment-20718 I can't imagine the Love and Rockets comics were selling very well -- they're a bit of a nostalgia purchase nowadays, TBH, and probably only appeal to people who remember it back when it was fun. The problem with going graphic, for me, is that I a) want a regular hit of comics-y goodness and b) don't want to feel stressed about chucking them into the recycling. Vinyl's a bad analogy, the way I read comics -- I'd say they're more like TV shows. Watch them, enjoy them, let them go -- apart from a a few favourites reserved to watch (or read) again and again.
