FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS
Before getting into the listings, a reminder that Fantagraphics is presently
dealing with a nasty loss due to LLC Publishing going tits-up and leaving
them holding a $70,000 debt. They could use help in selling off as much of
their backstock as they can, either through other distributors like Amazon
or directly through their website at www.fantagraphics.com Don't let one of
the last truly independent publishers go down like this, gang. No matter
what you may think of their editorial stance, they've done a lot to help
promote this work in the past, and still come out with damned unique and
worthy books. For example:
Fuzz & Pluck #3 - $4.95 - order #JUN032305
Fuzz gets a new protector while Pluck is on his way to the top in the
gladiatorial ring, but the seeds of self-destruction have been sown. Will

I assume the only unique thing about the above is just the narrow focus,
and the techniques are pretty much the same you see in all of the other
PhotoShop material out there.

There was no SFA listing anywhere in this month's catalog. I would suggest
you get in touch with Diamond if you feel this was a mistake.

Pretty much. Some of the tools needed for comics production are not standard
to the base PS package, and instruction on the use of PS in creating comics
is not as easy to find as general PS texts.

Yeah, I thought you were uncomfortable with comparing your books with other

I was dissapointed that there were no SFA goodies listed there, either. :-( Oh,
well, you can't always have everything.
On the side note, the folks are Diamond didn't send any order form along with
this month's Previews order magazines at my store, so the comic book shop
vendors told me to write out anything I want on an order sheet enclosed with
the Previews or on a blank peioce of paper. Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm guessing the Dan DeCarlo affair.
He essentially created the Archie house style and created many of the more
emorable characters, then the publisher more or less said "Thanks. We own it.
We don't want you anymore. Go away."
I'm being pretty vauge, here. Am I getting it right, and if not would someone
pleasee post corrections?

Doodles has avoided Archie comics dumped longlime Archie artist and "Josie and
the Pussycats" creator Dan DeCarlo. It was caused by DeCarlo and the Archie
company fighting over the money and credit over Josie and the Pussycats as a
Hollywood movie was made about the said characters. Archie then fired DeCarlo,
never put his name in the movie's credits nor never paid him or his surviving
family any money from it. (Not that it seems to matter now since the "Josie and
the Pussycats" movie was an cinematic and financial train wreck.) The company
also erased DeCarlo's name from all "Archie" and "Josie" stories he wrote in
the past as they were currently re-released.
They also kicked out a few Sonic the Hedgehog artists, such as Shawn Shaw (or
whatever his name was >;-( , he created of the short lived DC Comics series
"Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew.")

That's about it, plus when Archie Comics gave Hollywood the right to make a
"Josie and the Pussycats" movie based on characters DeCarlo created for Archie,
the company also wouldn't credit DeCarlo for creating Josie et al, nor did he
ever see any royalties for himself from the movie. See my post for Fuzzwolf's
question.

I just remember his name just now correctly on my own: he was Scott Shaw.

DeCarlo actually saw "Josie and the Pussycats"? o_O
What did he think of it, Mike? (other than the fumes over being uncredited.)
John Shughart
Mike and Carole
Well, he said his grandaughter enjoyed it.
Aside from the fact he was upset at seeing his characters on screen with no
compensation, he also said it was a lousy movie. I watched it once for free
and agreed with him.

I see. Must have been hard to watch the characters he created bounce around the
screen like idiots.
