Welcome to ACES WEEKLY Volume 72, Week Four!

Friends, As if the pressures on printed comics were not enough for them to deal with over recent times, two new blows have been suffered by them : firstly, the longtime major US distributor of all US comics is now in trouble and thus may be greatly downsizing what it decides to distribute ; secondly. a restriction on import goods is about to raise the price of many of those smaller run comics that may suffer from that downsizing, due to rising printing costs.  At  Aces Weekly we sympathize with all hardship suffered by eyeryone involved in producing for, and supplying to, the print comics world, whether they be creator, publisher, printer, or distributor ; but we will never shrink from any opportunity that may arise for us to make the most essential point to understand about the art of comics and the value it has to offer to the world, which is simply this : it does not, and should not, depend upon a specific surface to say what it wants to say, it should depend only on finding any it can use.  You know what I'm talking about, don't you..? : )  Stay safe, all!
