Fantagraphics’ Kim Thompson talks to Publishers Weekly about the high-end Ignatz line, and offers up a welcome alternative to the mainstream world of “WE HAVE SOLD OUT, WE ARE AWESOME”:

The Ignatz line remains just about break-even, which is still better than I’d hoped since I’m a born pessimist. I’ll be perfectly happy to support it pretty much ad infinitum if we just don’t lose too much money on it… They’ve performed okay [in the direct market] —we didn’t expect them to set the world on fire, and they didn’t, but they didn’t tank, either.

I now desperately want to read a Kim Thompson/Mark Millar conversation.
