Think comic books and images of Superman, Batman and Spider-Man come to mind. Release any new movie or comic book with either of those characters and they already have a massive name recognition which is three-fourths of the battle there.
While Marvel and DC Comics are truly megalithic giants in the comic book industry, there are smaller independent companies that are carving niches for themselves. I wanted to highlight one company in particular and that’s 215 Ink, which is based in Philadelphia.
215 Ink Publisher, Andrew Del Quadro was kind enough to talk with ScienceFictionZone about being an independent creator in the comic book industry.
I know, I know – it’s such a cliché to say this, but it really does seem like it was just yesterday when Science Fiction Zone was brought into existence. And yet we’re one year old this month!
Before I begin, I just want to start off with a HUGE thank you to our readers, followers and fans.
