Re: If they banned me what would you talk about? [Re: BronzeBruce13]

People are sure getting there spoons in a bunch over my posts.Keep saying im Terence and whomever.
So Erik and Ox if I was banned what would you talk about?
What was that you said about the cgc boards?

Does it ever stop?

In the imortal words of a very respected member of this community:

"Those who are fond of claiming that an insistence on civil behavior is some kind of bias by the moderators depending on which topics get cleaned up are simply engaging in sensationalism because it amuses them. And they should stop it. Because it gets on my last nerve. Especially given the enormous amounts of horse manure we wade through to try and provide an open and accepting posting environment."

It wouldn't be a very wise business move to hire and train a bunch of full time people, pay their salaries, benefits and payroll taxes for what is probably a seasonal fluctuation in submissions. It would be a lot less expensive for CGC to hand out some freebie submission certificates to the squeeky wheels than to hire additional staff.

That raises an interesting point. What is the story on Manga back issues in Japan? Anyone know anything?

Paging Ijiwaru Sensei!



Manga has a very short shelf life in Japan and as far as I can tell scores about a 0 on the collectability-o-meter.

Before coming to the US to visit me, a former Japanese student of mine asked me if I'd like anything from Japan. I asked for a variety of manga. He brought me much more than I had expected--I now use what he gave me as visual aides in a world lit class I teach.

When he stopped by my office, he saw that I had a number of manga from the late 70's early 80's on my shelf. He couldn't wrap his brain around the American interest in collecting something as ephemeral as comics. I was surprised that he claimed there was no interest in "back issues" of manga in Japan. He said you can find old manga in used book stores for a fraction of their cover prices, which is where he bought the ones he gave me. He said people read them and throw them away.

I actually have a couple boxes of 70 and 80's manga that belonged to my brother-in-law. They are extremely rare--but also extremely unwanted, so their value is next to nil. If interest in Japanese manga ever develops, I'll be able to retire early, but I'm not holding my breath.
==================

Thanks for that, i've always been fascinated by the Japanese comics culture. I'm told that comics there are held with great respect like we do with literature. My cousin was in Japan this summer and she told me that on the subway you would see 6 year old kids with their ice cream and 60 year old suits with their briefcases both reading copies of the same comicbook on their way to work and school. Different culture and all. It's funny that video games are blamed for the decline of comics in the west yet the Japanese are more mad about electronics than anyone and yet still love comics.


As to the number of collectors in Oz, I think you might be surprised. Remember, English has been our first language (since 1788) and since 1945 our kiddy literature has been derived almost exclusively from the U.S. of A.


OK, now I'm a little leary about the new concept. They could use poor service on normal tiers to promote paying the extra $8 for faster service.

I broadcast a radio station on Live365.com. It's a free site, but they sell a VIP subscription which is commercial free. However, they don't sell advertising. Their "commercials" are just annoying 30 second ads with babies crying in the background, or other highly annoying sounds, that end with "If you paid for VIP service, you wouldn't have to hear this."

CGC will start answering customer complaints with, "If you had paid the $8 extra, you'd have your comic right now, instead of being on the phone asking where it is."

Just kidding, I LOVE CGC, and support this new venture (so far).



Re: who are the most important non-artist people in comic history?

Quote:
Artists always get the attention, but who are the most important people in comic book history who were not artists? (or at least made huge contributions other than as an artist). I will start the list.

In no particular order:

1. Stan Lee
2. Jerry Siegel
3. Walt Disney
3. Denny O'Neil
4. Julie Schwartz
5. William Gaines
6. Martin Goodman
7. Dave Sim
8. Alan Moore
9. Denny O'Neil
10. Chris Claremont
11. Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson
12. Bill Finger
13. Frank Miller (as a writer)
14. Eastman & Laird (as creators/writers)

If I were to rank them, I'd put Stan, Jerry & Walt at the top of the list.
