Planet Larry: The July edition of Bookslut features an interview with Larry Young, in which he discusses publishing, diversity and the state of the industry:

"Comics are fine; the 'industry' and the 'art form' aren't separate, since comics are a commercial art. Too many publishers think the job's over when the book is printed and distributed, but that's only half the gig. The game isn't over when you suit up and trot out onto the field; you gotta play the game and keep score, too. And after you produce a comic book, you gotta get out there and make sure people know about it. Write, draw, print, sell. Lather, rinse, repeat, you know? Even the shampoo companies don't tell you when you should stop, and you shouldn't stop when you're doing comics, either."
