I don't know that they do and some are actively stepping away. I think a lot of industry people don't get them. Compare the UK to the rest of Europe. Comics there are off the charts. It could be a good time to start a GN publishing house!

I feel venting my experience sounds like sour grapes.
Meh - I'll go for it!
I made loads of illustrated promo content - most of it went unused. Even a fwd of an insta would've been helpful.
I organsied a week of countrywide book tours & my agent managed to get just £150 off them to pay towards this.

Yes to this. I feel seen! I want to say more but don't want to come across as bitter or hard to work with as it's an honour to be published. I'm feeling exactly how you're saying I shouldn't be! I more or less self funded my book tour last year because I loved doing it.

As someone who did a load of comic tours over the Autumn I have come to the conclusion that kids are nutcases! They want far more than what publishers feel comfortable to offer. They really want comics to go there. But I suppose as authors we have to show a bit of restraint.

Running characters in different styles is great. Look at the Ninja Turtles. They're never the same style. Even the Poke centre's Pikachu is totally different to the gaming/anime style. I'm all for such variety.
