Are You An American Independent Comics Publisher?

 I have heard from many who ventured into comic publishing that, despite all the talk of comic

stores being willing to stock Indie titles, very few were willing to.  I have also hear how, at conventions where they spend a lot -a LOT- of money on tables they are pushed out of the way of the main crowds, mainstream comics and toy sellers.

Please, if you are an Indie publisher let me know the problems you have had at events as well as trying to get stores to take your books.  

We all need to help each other out and highlight problems small publishers face.

Thank You
