Hey guys.

I had a question. I'm printing my comic myself using contacts in the reprographics and printing industry at cost and then i'll be going through a distributer here in the UK. Is diamond the only one i should concider? or is comiexpress better cuz of its low start up costs and POD? Also i know my comic will be about 20-22 pages of a 24 page book and that i want some ads in it for other comics and the like. How do i get those ads into my comic if im not going through a publishing house?

Any help would be great. thanks.

You sell them yourself.

i will be selling it myself as well as using distributers.

No no.

You would sell the ads to the advertisers yourself directly if you go thru a self publishing method like comixpress or lulu. Then you would place them in your InDesign document yourself before creating the PDF's you send to the POD printing companies. Of course, with no circulation numbers your adspace won't be worth much... at that point you have to be a salesman and convince whoever you are trying to get to buy space it will be worth it to them.

ah right i get you now, thanks for your help man.
