Sandman. When I was a tiny she-goon, I read Vault of Horror and anything remotely scary to a small kid. Comics and a candy bar could be had for like fifteen or twenty cents maybe. Fucksakes, I feel old. This sucks.

Whatev posted:what do comic markets even look like these days? fuckin nobody buys comic books anymore. do they just have to cater to a shrinkingly small number of ultra nerds? yes. i'd say over/under on age for dc/marvel comics purchasers is like 35 or 40, and probably 95%+ male as for why this is, basically it's a combination of other more expensive media like tv and video games becoming popular as people got wealthier, and the ultranerds burning the industry to the ground by spending huge amounts of money on increasingly insular and convoluted jack kirby superhero comics and refusing to read anything else, so there was no incentive for anyone to make the stuff that normal people read like archie or disney or sports comics anymore. this is in like the late 60s, by the way, it's been a wasteland ever since basically in 20 years the only reason marvel will still exist is to publish the official novelizations of superhero movies as marketing material icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Aug 4, 2014 |

That ain't the sort of poo poo that is going to attract creative artists or talented writers.

couple quick points 1) comics were on a decline in general after the decency hearings cut a bunch of genres (crime and horror most notably) off at the knees (because they were mostly a way to put EC out of business, EC mainly survived on MAD for years and they did so partly by switching to a magazine format and thus not having to follow the code) 2) "increasingly insular and convoluted" comics werent actually a thing in the 60s, things would be referenced and continuity would be followed but the books didn't actually tie into one another, the first major crossover as we know it now wasn't until the 80s and the crisis on infinite gently caress you buy our poo poo wasn't until the 90s (the first mulit-issue story though was in the 60s, it was the galactus trilogy) als the change to solely direct distribution is a whole loving mess in and of itself that has a lot to do with the fact that the logistics of actually getting comics to a place on time were a colossal loving mess for basically forever, it wasn't just because they decided one day "let's focus on shops over newsstands" also the implication that nobody actually ever cared about superhero comics despite it being the longest existing genre of comics to come about after the actual creation of comics (not counting the first comics which were actually reprinted sunday comics) is p fuckin dumb given the last 76 years BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Aug 4, 2014 |

also part of the problem right now irl in 2014 is that DC specifically is focusing on their base of 35-40 yo dudes and not even remotely attempting to entice other people to read their comics meanwhile ms marvel #1, about a muslim girl and written by a queer person, has gone to like seven or eight printings and sold even more than that in digital

Literally The Worst posted:couple quick points okay so apparently more and more continuity, references and multi-issue stories doesn't count as insularity before an arbitrary date in 198X because reasons. apparently superhero comics being around the longest means they were necessarily popular with the general public and not just ultranerds. and finally the ever popular handwave of 'it's the comics code's fault' is ridiculous. the most popular stuff were romance, archie and disney comics, not smut and gore porn. and you didn't answer the question of why that stuff stopped being published?
