Since we mount the editorial, unfortunately, we've been gradually realizing that the world of comics, like any other profession, has its own sewage. And no doubt it's a shame to see how in this world of few, there are people with dubious intentions and professionalism that only seek profit at the expense of others' work, or at least I hope, for the other assumptions that we can think are even worse.
case happens to us is pretty ridiculous, and as usual, hampers the normal functioning of our work and the artists. Keep in mind that we will tell very rare situations. He
Russell, and previously announced as one of the signings of LP3, proved to be an attempt to 'deception' by a character who, we feel, all I wanted was to profit at the expense of an artist with great qualities. Although it sounds sad to say this as the most gentle of a series of assumptions. Because one thing is clear, who contacted us was never Russell Fox.
Yes, as strange as it sounds.
After one year from the first contact with the course designer, returned to contact him with the intention of publishing. To respond, once again sent us these 6 pages that used mode test a year ago, and after asking for new jobs, and again received the same material. That was all we got from him at first, not a phone, no address, no blog ...
Suspicious, no?
this person at all times insisted on being Russell Fox, signing all emails as RF.
Making comments on his feelings for his characters and their narrative intentions. I did not want to leave no doubt that the person behind the screen was Russell himself. After talking
new material for the magazine and as we say, once again receive the same, is when we suspect the veracity of their identity.
At that time we decided to do a little research and soon to the internet with the original author, the real Russell Fox, a British author who has worked even Judge Dredd (and scripted by Alan Grant!), and whose work deserves our sincere admiration.
But that's not all, product research found that those 6 pages are only the preview a serialized story of 3 numbers.
What was our surprise to find that is represented by an "agency" and before we had sent a request for cooperation without much success.
order to still fit the pieces of the puzzle, we decided to continue giving false ball to Russell while we would contact the original author to find out what it was all about.
Continuing our standard pattern of award of a contract, ask the fake Russell Fox actual contact data, and after several hesitate relented, only to find that the data we received were nothing more than his own representative: PLL.
Here we think, " ah, well, if your representative is normal, but do not forget the tone in which this man wrote to us. Never claim to be representative, much less the fact that he is not Russell Fox, even to sign the post as such. Do not forget either that the comics we get is just a preview of a long history. And last but not least, the data we receive are those of the second person and not the original author, including bank account ...
At the same time, the original Russell alarmed responded by saying that we had no record of any editing on our part, much less edit it just a preview. Commenting on the situation happens to us, the real author responds us using the words "That's just bizarre " among others. We would not have described better.
However, we think that what I wanted this man at all times is profiting, but as we mentioned at the beginning, as softer than we think. Let's do a mental exercise and let us in the situation where we have edited the sample that as a comic. Let us discover that the real Russell that we have published and that neither he nor the screenwriter gave us his consent. For that matter, consider also how this man had intentions by insisting that these pages were drawn and scripted a story by himself as if Russell Fox is much less strange, and although we think it may be something else to receive payment a publisher that has little to give (financially speaking), we do not want to be paranoid and accuse of intent impossible to substantiate. There is only One thing is clear, which leads us to believe what has been said, the bank account was not the designer, and artist knew nothing of this.
For his part, Russell, late cut confirmed to us that any agreement with this supposed "agency" that represents him in Spain, AAS, more than reasonable grounds, no representative works impersonating an identity moves much less without the author's knowledge in any way.
In short, this guy is all a case .
we do the same on our part and discard any possible future collaboration with these gentlemen who have shown us, once more, what are their colors.
Thank you for your interest, with all my heart, but if ever you feel wanting to bother you, please, not us.
