Rating: 5 - An invaluable resource!
Tony Caputo has taken his years of experience as a major comic book publisher and created a guide that is indispensable for publishers of any size. The book offers guidance in getting started and takes you through every step in the process. It is well organized and well written. It covers printing, distribution, and marketing as well as contracts and budgets. It was the primary reference work I used (and continue to use) when starting my own publishing business. I recommend it to anyone in the comic book business, and also to comic book readers who are interested in looking behind the scenes. Edward DeGeorge, Publisher, October Comics.
Rating: 5 - From The Master
I was in desperate need of a book of this type when I saw this. It is the best book ever written on this subject. Mr. Caputo should teach a class. If you are interested in comics at all this is a must read. I can't praise this book enough. Complete and educational this book tells you everything you need or would want to know about publishing comic books.
Rating: 5 - How to Self-Publish Your Own Comic Book:
I am an indy comic book publisher at eigoMANGA.com, and I used this book for the last 3 years to get my company started from the very bottom.
This book is my bible in terms of building my company at eigoMANGA.com. I have it secretly stashed in my desk and let people believe that I'm a comic book genius.
The blueprints are spelled out in this book so you can't go wrong. Yeah, it can be alittle intimidating sometimes so read the parts that are relevant to your needs at that time. When I started out in my dining room several years ago, I didn't need to know about worldwide distribution, now I do.
This industry is a real rat-race, with very few big time people wanting to help you. Mr. Caputo and this book is a blessing!
With a little bit of desire, work ethic, and Mr. Caputo's book, you are destined to go far in this industry. TRUST ME!
