The paperless comics shop

[avram]

Via Jim Henley comes the news that Carla Speed McNeil is going to be following the Foglio’s lead. The upcoming Finder arc, “Five Crazy Women”, will be the last published in single-issue format. Over the next few months McNeil will be moving Finder over to web publication (three pages a week, for free) with annual trade paperback collection.

I’ll miss comics stores when they’re gone, but I won’t miss pamphlet-format comics. What a fucking pain in the ass.

Kevin, add to the 50 pages all the work she produced for Queen & Country, plus her Apparat issue. No doubt that motherhood must have affected her productivity negatively, though. And the other news is she's expecting her second child in February. (Jim H.)

Her Queen & Country arc ended almost exactly two years ago, so that's six issues of Finder and one issue of Frank Ironwine in the last 24 months. 70 pages per year. 70 damn good pages, admittedly, but going back up to 150 pages per year is a big step.
