Fresh Eyes on Old Books #2 by Dan!

So here’s your second dose of my opinion of old stuff. Yes, this stuff is much much older than I am, but on the internet, everyone gets an opinion!

Ask the Professor 33 — Catching Up
Yes, as usual, the Professor has been slacking off on the questions (for the whole semester, in fact), but now that the grading’s almost completed, it’s time to dip into the mailbag. This first question is from ‘way back in January: Professor I am wondering what you feel is the best way to get your self published indie title into stores? I ask because I am working on a title that is going to give 100% of all profits to cancer research. I am also wondering if you have any tips on attending comic book conventions?
