Seafood Sauce Hibachi

Closing the joint. (II)

I was thinking how to start this letter of farewell. I know it I have to write some of the reasons I left the project because personally I owe the people we've been following (many or few, it does not matter) and I know that there are two ways to do it. One is to make a proper farewell and quietly, which means that all these things that have been eroding patience in these two years, falling into oblivion and become mere personal anecdotes, and I imagine that is what normally happens the world of comics in Spain. The errors fall into oblivion and no progress. We have years without progress. And
advance to avoid absurd accusations that the main reason why is let us lack of resources and mismanagement probably the same for us. Sales that have left us off in conditions and an initial draft may be too risky for the public which requires regular comic. Yes, we're going with the goals accomplished. We support novice designers, and, as far as possible, help to take off to some authors, to give resume and experience, and boost national comic.

What really surprises is to see how businesses or events with many years standing, keep doing things so badly wrong. It is hard to realize how many people irresponsible and unprofessional flooding the scene. Best of all, it seems to be a secret, but nobody does anything about it. We all assume, with an ironic "is that things here are well" and are so wide. It is outrageous that there is more concern on whether to call "comic " the comic and not on improving the industry moves to the name. SD
angry that distributions have a monopoly brutal and ill-treat us as customers (I assume it must be to us only because I have not seen anyone else complain about), it is so difficult to telephone the person responsible, you den read receipts to your emails but are not able to answer you if you do not care what you say. Imagine that you go to English Court to return the unit a clock and dependent on the typical suit, when you ask why not work begins to walk backwards but still lose the smile, until you lose track of. You have not stopped looking at him and you're left to face "what the hell is going on here?" with your watch and your questions. And it is virtually the only option to distribute all over Spain ... as if its provisions were all advantages.
indignantly organizations classrooms full of non-professional comic book fans, who can not handle an event. have to wait an hour to Rafa Marín finished his talk to begin mine, because no organizer has said that his shift is over ... In two different events! I understand that Rafa is well liked and has many things to tell, but it is the responsibility of the organization to respect timetables if there are people waiting and more if any of the components depends on public transport ... And then they put us rush to the artists and me because they have to close the bar.
That a man of 50 years or more, we steal a copy credited with a fake press pass FICOMIC, for € 3.95 please ... We have been granted an award with a plaque misspelled and that nobody in the organization has said anything about it or been able to attempt solve the problem. We take a joke, because there is no way to take this kind of thing, but I can not imagine any other awards ceremony cultural activity where this happens. Or email my signature appears on all signs of an event my phone number and my email, distributed throughout the province to plan "sponsor." And in the same say that our editorial is called Creative Commons (is as ridiculous as if my publisher called Copyright), and anybody to do anything about it.

continue No, leave me a lot in the pipeline and could take pages and pages written full of absurdities and bad karma, and unlike heart of the world (real engine of culture in Spain), this does not sell. Only sincerely hope that this helps to reflect on all parties involved in the development of this "industry" to correct problems and progress, but you go forward everyone, not just the usual four cats.

We're with the bittersweet taste of knowing he has done everything possible for their ideas and projects, but that's probably not the best time or the place. We met great people and lived with them good times, we get that and all the experience we have now, which will surely serve us in the future.
Many thanks to all who have sent us these days your support.

Robertshaw 9600 Thermostat Default Setting

Closing the joint. LP

And the truth, I do not have much to add on our part. Those who know us or you follow the blog know that was a very difficult situation.

is a shame as so many some factors have made it impossible to follow. Today
seek not guilty, I suppose because in virtually all areas has been some conflict.
Some, satisfied smile while reading this nod with an almost visionary, others prattle on fallacies and most will say "that closes what."

also do not want to write a list of problems and crying, we did what we could, helped in what has been our best and have maintained it all the time that our bizarre lemming tendency has allowed us.

I hope that all may know the magazine have enjoyed it and you will keep with affection.

Finally I would like to thanks, first of all and all, Javi, by the great weight that load in a moment of weakness, get away with despite his moonlighting and being a kamikaze. I love pigeons.
I also thank all our contributors (some more than others) and all of us you have read. And

LP editorial ends here, we for our part we will continue our creative paths and leave aside the support of others.
A hug to everyone. Antonio F.

García.

Shelf Life For Meclazine

The authors break down barriers

since our last post announcing the good news that finally Pepe opened the door at Marvel, we do a review of the progression of other authors working with us stop and also represent those artists who, after hours of hard work and dedication, they get their deserved reward. Felipe

Torrent. This finally Jerez today announced its signing by the American publisher IDW (GIJoe, Transformers, Star Trek ....) And that actually has already drawn nearly three Nanovor numbers, a miniseries based on a virtual card game opens next month in the U.S.. The reason for the late announcement is that the Internet has appeared the cover of which is the second installment of the series. In the first issue's Cover Martheus A is the work of Wade and Torrent Cover B's own. So we wish him well for the production and begin to reserve copies on Amazon.


the other Jerez who have things to announce Jesus is our friend Briosso with Javier Vadillo , Slashed comic book creative team of the recent number 3. They have won another contest more than it helps to fatten his resume, this time the first prize Comic photo by a 4-page comic book entitled La Vie ou La Gloire. But no less interesting is the emotional short have taken from these four pages and certainly worth enjoying.



Another leap to a major publisher the case of Irene Rodriguez that for a couple of months we can see it also in the journal Planet B'S LOG, with the manga titled Walk Japan. A series that will tour Japan with Ami, a Japanese raised in Barcelona that begins to know the customs of their country of origin in their quest to find someone important to her.


Victor Araque A so you can find in two different publications. On the one hand, you can read at the end of the year the album which will be published with the editorial Saure entitled "Newton and the computer Torrijo", and secondly you can usually read in Amaníaco, best comic book 2008 by the Barcelona Comic Fair. A quarterly magazine really, not like other ... Finally

boys Rantifuso , nor have them stop and also periodically in Digital Comic strips, go and win the Award for Best Fanzine in Barcelona another year at last!. Are probably already plotting another rantitour and a new number. Yes, I acknowledge that I have the heart divided between them and Adobo ...


For our part we are most proud that people like this have been part of our team, we have not found anyone, each one has worked for years to achieve their goals (and those that remain to be fulfilled), but we do believe that thanks to La Parada we could support by English authors that other publishers do not have risked so far.
And so too, since we are developing new projects to support these promising new comics. Pass good summer!

Ice Cream For Upset Stomach

Mr. Larraz in Marvel

As you know all that know me further, I feel a deep admiration for what is our usual cover artist for "The Parade Magazine " Pepe Larraz.
From my personal perspective, I think that's what we mejorcito our borders, so that does not support comparative evident, a very personal style and defined fully mature. Pepe
I remember hearing years ago that he would like to someday work for Marvel . A personal challenge, despite having more than enough quality, it is difficult get as this editorial is very demanding with non-Americans and more so if your style is not by U.S. dollars and his usual extra muscles developed .

Today (and for some tiempecillo matter) can say that Pepe has finally achieved its goal, has been accepted into Marvel .
In my opinion he deserved for a long time. I hope that Americans who appreciate their quality for many years.

I also hope that this news ye merry as much as us.
I leave a sketch published in Pepe's blog on the subject in question, of course drawn by the same Larraz .

"You're going to shit Quesada! "
