JIM CROCKER OF MODERN MYTHS ON DOUBLE TAKE'S OVERPRINTING

'IQ Test.'

Posted by ICv2 on July 6, 2015 @ 10:30 pm CT

Jim Crocker of Modern Myths, Inc. in Northampton, Massachusetts read Bill Jemas' comments regarding Double Take overprinting their upcoming titles (see "ICv2 Interview: Double Take's Bill Jemas, Part 1") and had this to say.

Hunh. Apparently, not loving underprinting the way Jemas does is an IQ test not only for retailers, but, retroactively, for publishers! Who knew, right?

Oh jeez, sorry, I have to go and sell the 5th printing of this Marvel comic to a new reader who just discovered it.
