On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Dan Head. And, today we're going to talk about how to self publish your own comic or graphic novel. When you're talking about small press and independent press comics, they really run the gammit. Personally, I review comics for Paperback Reader, and it might be just Indies. So, I see kind of a large scale of things. Now, you can get something like Vox Pop. Which is, this is definitely the world of small press. But, this is somebody's labor of love. I bought this in a local comic shop in Albany. And, it's great. It cost me a buck. You can get something like 'Purity' from Dakuwaka. This is published quarterly, and it's black and white. But, as you can see, they didn't skimp on the art. They got nice art to go with it. And then, you get your more professional Indies like 'Okko' from ASP, 'Grunts' from Arkana, two of my favorites recently from my column. You're going to see a lot out there. And, when you're getting the word out, sending out review copies is a good way to do it.
