From last week:
That, boys and girl, is called knowing the game. Those who don’t shouldn’t play. So despite being blackballed by one of the big two how was I able to thrive?
Alternative means of finding distribution, budget and happiness.
The vast majority of top tier creators in the industry use one option.
There are numerous more, and I’ll touch on those next time.
As well I will break down what option was preferred and why for the project I’m using for this series. I’ve been in the game for a long time. What I use as examples are not intended as a ‘how to’ to get into the comics biz. If so the series would be named ‘how to ruin your career.’
The underlying point is to look at the big picture when entering this field. I believe with every fiber of my...

That changed in 2005 when publisher Idw released an adaptation of The Thief of Always, a “children’s fable” Barker published in 1992. The release of the book was perhaps the first sign that Barker was going to stretch beyond his blood-stained, adults-only reputation to reach out to young readers with his work (something he continues to do now with the Abarat series), and the author himself acknowledged that it was a big gamble for HarperCollins.

Originally conceived as a multimedia concept, the book is a "classic struggle between good and evil", featuring cameos from several high-profile metal musicians.
