Pounding the pavement: California's North County Times looks at local creators Adam Rosko and J.M. Hunter's efforts to get their book in the hands of publishers at Comic-Con International:

"Hunter and Rosko will join about 70,000 other fans this week in attending the annual ComicCon -- the gigantic comic book convention which started Thursday and runs through Sunday at the San Diego Convention Center -- but instead of buying books and memorabilia, they will be trying to interest publishers in picking up their books.

"It's not easy breaking into the comic book industry, but they like to think they have improved their chances by publishing their own books. With or without a lucrative contract, though, they are doing what they love."
