Free Mandingo With White Wifes

Dear comics (Part 1)


It strikes me that very poster that is at some gas stations, who wants to illustrate the burden of state taxes on the retail price of fuel. Well, I'd love to have a similar event was also present on the Italian comic books.

To understand what is the weight distrubution in the final cost of our comics.

First, let me make
outing, because I think the comics are not expensive in Italy. This is a sub-positive effect of two factors:
1) The popular comic strip, in our country, is designed as a product "popular" in all directions, and also in price. That is a book that goes on sale should not cost more than, say, 5 €, except for special niches and special books. The price products more expensive to be in the library, where the "wealthy devotee if he wants to go and buy what they want at the price imposed;
2) the conception that we have in Italy is a by-product of the comic cultural ADDRESS to 90% at a young public that there is little money in his pocket.

That said, do the math.
an album arrives in comic books at a discount on the cover price between 28 and 37%. If the distribution of an accredited to sell 63 % of cover price to the retailer, it means that we take the case a register of € 3.00, the comic books it buys around € 2.00. If we
that the distribution we gain a 15-20% of cover price, it means that the book comes from the publishing house about half of what is sold. To recap:
register cost € 3.00 - € 1.00
gain comics -
gain distribution
€ 0.50 = € 1.50
from which the publisher earns what she needs to continue their work.
The system then provides that costs half of what a book is what is lost in the transition between home publisher and reader.
Consequences:
1) course, with a more equitable redistribution of prices, you could buy more comics;
2) The comic is forced to make fewer copies of new books and Comic Strips in general distribution, because with these prices do not have the economic strength to offset the risk "calculated", but because he has to consider that should cushion the unsold because, remember, you can not do surrender.
I should like to recall the introduction of the system's performance lifted the American comics market by returning the
Marvel in surplus after years of red
3) Small publishers can not take off, seen the paltry earnings on each copy, but especially the very low number of copies ordered by distributors.
In the second part of this post I will talk more of the latter with their testimonies.

This sales system, ultimately, leads to a general drying up of the market, which will increasingly depleted, with the passage of time, the only blockbuster of vedita. We continue to talk about ...

has nothing to do with the post, but since we speak of distributions, sued the more "questionable" ...

How To Pay Alltunes Australia 2010

eye does not see ...


Have you ever done this quiz? "Which way would you not live without?".
See, I always answered the view. For me, the memories are primarily visual, the feelings come from what I see. This will also be my passion for comics: the text, I always need to associate an image.

Well, my eyes are not exactly the best.

All this preamble to explain the humiliation they face visit with the ophthalmologist. Today, however, was not so bad my doctor told me that for now I have to resort to the transplantation of both corneas (with two "e") but "only" a simple intervention which, I quote, "detach and heal the corneas with a laser vessels that continue to bleed, then reglued the cornea.

For me it was the best news I could give, after 10 days of expectations, doubts and questions.

Now back to see what gives me life ...

Asus Maximus Ii Formula Compatible With Q9550




While the web continues the controversy "a small apartment " (the meeting point is now the Blog Recchioni Roberto, one of four authors who Marco Schiavone of BD called "loyalty" ... but I say, we realize?), today I would go and speak against the state of health of Italian comics. And I will do the talking Planeta De Agostini.

In almost a year, the Planeta DeAgostini has become a point of reference for readers of Italian comics, and if the rumors that the loss of partner Shueisha next winter should be confirmation, that is going for the manga readers. After some initial missteps, such as macaroni translations of the first issues of The Adventures of Superman coarse and some errors being revised as "The Dark Knight" in Absolute Dark Knight, now the books of the Planeta both are great in the box that in the translations.
The only thing still shrouded in mystery is the political price at home Planeta stapled "cheap" very expensive compared to competing Panini, paperback or hardcover books at bargain prices.

Why do I say that the Planeta De Agostini is a testament to the health of the Italian comic? Because it makes us understand that this is a market where these investments are, in most cases, repaid. Surely the Italian reader wants a high quality product, but if the house editricenon ignores the request, then do not miss it.
If not, we would not have witnessed in recent months to the return of DC Comics in Italy, and in recent months even on sale, with sales close to that of "colleagues" of the Marvel Italy and even higher for the volumes from library to those of some 100% Marvel.

The editorial policy of Planeta sin'ora proved successful, is not to get to the tie with 3:00 to 4:00 warheads, but to consolidate its market presence with a large number of books from newsstands and bookshops. Here's what it means to get out of the mentality of the province ", a defect that afflicts all too many publishers homegrown. This is also why send in our national library proposals unthinkable in the market as the Absolute. The latest one, just three days ago, contains a reprint of Crisis and a summary. And 'identical to that released in America, but half the price: a case with two hard cover books only € 50 against the U.S. $ 99 edition

me think: how long is that waiting for reprints Marvel decent material?

Draft Of Welcome Letter To Doctor

Love Planet Comics, cartoons and other nonsense



You might wonder why I started this blog.
Or maybe you're wondering, but I'll tell you anyway. Because it seems a good way to start.
not born from my desire to talk to me, because I'm pretty shy and I think there might be of interest to very little. Not born from my desire to write about comics, because I'm happy being a contented editor of LoSpazioBianco.it
There, you see, despite not deny that the idea still does not excite me a little, everything comes from here:



An exchange between authors and publishers, which occurred almost exclusively on the Web, which led to the following considerations:
1) the sadness of the Italian comic book;
2) the blog, as well as the forum for comics, have become among post comments and topic, the main vehicle of communication and Information for "insiders" of comics fans and critics.

was born this blog: to have my say in an informal setting for those who have desire and time to read and listen. And having
hunger Which brings me to a diet made to lose 50 KG (but now "only" 37), are not really suitable for the mood discounts.
