    •Project: New Man #1 – Dave Davison is the subject of Project: New Man, a partly secret joint venture of the U.S. Government and the Fortress Foundation, a private sector non-profit philanthropic organization dedicated to public defense and scientific research. Dave has the dual role of being part of the research project and at the same time being groomed by the Government as a public protector in the Five Lakes Megalopolis area.

Project: New Man 1 Inside Back Cover

The Adventures Continue… This inside back cover gives more insght into where we were back in 1991.

Mark's Profile Pic 4Mark’s Remarks: Still very green in the business, we canceled Project: New Man™ #2 and rescheduled Humants #1 as well as increased it’s size to accomodate both the Humants story and the second story of Project: New Man™.

This did not endear us to the distributors as we and many other independents were to find out. Canceling and rescheduling was a mistake which played a key role in Distributors further cutting back promoting Independents. At the time we felt we had no choice because of the low order numbers for P:NM #1. We had little operating capital and a double size single issue saved us a lot of money at the printers.

In the long run it did not matter anyway, the so called Direct Market became a bigger joke than the old Newstand Market. Even for the bigger companies it did not work all the time. If you ever wondered why a title by a giant in the industry like Jack Kirby or Neal Adams got canceled it’s real simple, LIMITED OR NO DISTRIBUTION. That’s right, the books never made it to a lot of stands and did not get into the hands of the fans. It still happens today. The World Wide Web is a much better Direct Market for comic books.

Any questions or comments? All are welcome.
