PLEASE Consider Supporting CBO

Please consider supporting Comic Bits Online because it is a very rare thing in these days of company mouthpiece blogs that are only interested in selling publicity to you. With support CBO can continue its work to bring you real comics news and expand to produce the video content for this site. Money from sales of Black Tower Comics & Books helps so please consider checking out the online store.
Thank You

Just A Note

 Yep I have no actual comic work in over a week. I have instead made it a legal requirement that should I not log into my online store account in a month the store and all its books will be deleted.   I am not getting any younger and if people think my popping my clogs will lead to more sales they are mistaken. 

My family has no interest in my comics or books and there is no stock of them anywhere for later sale: it is print on demand.

So if you have purchased a Black Tower comic or book hang on to them because the number out there of each title are nowhere near 100 each so they'll be rarer than A British Platinum or Diamond Ages comics.

Oh, original art will be dumped or more likely burnt so ...

Part of life and business.

Now read something cheerful.

I feel Somewhat Ashamed (no money in it)

 I was updated on the research into my family tree:

"...yesterday we found out you are related to Sir John Cope and Lady Chaworth Cope family which become the Earl of Holland of Holland House Kensington -executed during the Emglish civil war... today the 3rd great grandfather of 7th great grand uncle ( counts in lineage ) is.. no other than sir Erasmus Paston 1506 _1540 direct descendant of King Edward the 1st "the Hammer of the Scots! You can now officially walk through the house proclaiming royal blood flows through your veins!"

I'm a long time socialist. Oh Corbin forgive me!

It Was VERY Unexpected (and I do not mean the Spanish Inquisition)

 


Damn, if only sales came out of views!  I had to check the Black Tower blog this morning and the views are usually 500 o so daily. I had to keep re-reading the total views for yesterday...

Just under 24,000.

Incidentally, not one of those views came from the UK.

Anyway, I can tell you based on experience since 1998 that views NEVER result in sales. If it did I wouldn't be planning baked beans on toast for dinner!
