The artwork itself is nearly done, so what you&#8217;re paying for is the comic itself (call it a pre-order). I&#8217;m also offering some prints, t-shirts, and original art in case you wanna donate a little bit more. <\/p>\n<p>Since I kept the print run to the first <strong>Zegas<\/strong> issue really, really small, I mostly promoted it locally while trying to hit up as many comics shops across the country as I could (having it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/79299479\/zegas-1st-issue-magazine-size-limited?ref=sr_list_1&#038;ga_search_submit=&#038;ga_search_query=zegas&#038;ga_view_type=list&#038;ga_ship_to=US&#038;ga_search_type=handmade&#038;ga_facet=handmade\">available through Etsy<\/a> helped a lot, too). I don&#8217;t go through a distributor; I package &#038; ship it all myself. <strong>Zegas<\/strong> was and IS print only, so no digital distribution for me, either (the comic works better that way). Therefore, its success relies on a grassroots, word-of-mouth approach. I&#8217;m trying to make this self publishing thing happen so <strong>Zegas<\/strong> could <em>exist<\/em>. No matter what, it&#8217;s still gotta go up against every other book, small press or not, so this is paying for its fighting chance.<\/p>\n<p>Spread the word!
