Hello,
investors! In this episode, rabid speculators Chris (@AceComics) and
Reggie (@reggierggie) finish their talk about comic books' direct
market, taking it from about 1988 until the present day! They talk about
comic book collecting during a speculator's bubble, and how this
affected distribution and the the operating companies when that bubble
burst. Our armchair economists also look at Marvel's financial dealings
during the period, including the fateful acquisition of Heroes World,
and what really cause them to file for bankruptcy in 1997. It's not all
doom and gloom, however, when they discuss how comic book retailers
reinvented themselves as something more in the late 1990s and into the
21st Century. Plus: Anedcdotes and recollections of the period! After
this episode, you should know enough about the crazy business of comic
books to stay as far away from it as possible.
