Michael Breakfield of Lone Star Comics in Arlington, Texas comments on Rob Salkowitz's latest column regarding the comic book industry back in the 1990s (see "Marvel 1990s Tribute Covers Pay Homage to a Dark Era for the Art and Business").
Rob Salkowitz's column, "MARVEL 1990S TRIBUTE COVERS PAY HOMAGE TO A DARK ERA FOR THE ART AND BUSINESS," was fantastic. It is a cautionary tale about the lowest point in the industry that should be mandatory reading for every single person in our line of work.
