Reading in America and elsewhere

[jeanmarcbano]

Perhaps this question of success or not success in regard to the sales is an important matter only for the people who manage the comics business, a company needs money for paying the bill and the salaried employees, and that is normal, if the profit is lacking, the company dies; but concerning the point of view of the readers, personally i don't care if the story i read is only read by few people and if the others prefer to go to the movies or playing football according to their tastes, the only criteria at the end being to enjoy good stories with good script and good drawing, and if that sells just a little amount of copies, that doesn't bother me at all.

I will add two words about the lack of characterization of Mickey : i think this is a condition of the Mickey's stories based above all on the intrigues as i said in 'Mickey buddies 4 : size of the comics - Scarpa § Gottfredson again' ; too much characterization of Mickey would turn the stories of him into vaudeville stories where the intrigues between different people personalities are predominant and would add a psychological dimension to the stories; in fact, Mickey needs to be a kind of 'empty' character in order to build good intrigues and stories, especially in the detective / adventures ones, the intrigues and the plot must be predominant over a too important characterization of him.

P.S : just a correction in Mickey Part 5 Time and comics : 'accointances' doesn't exist in english, this is a french word, the english version of the word is 'similarities', in plus, i forgot to mention two excellent italian stories with the Blot : 'Mickey contre les pois sauteurs' and 'Mickey et la langouste noire', sorry if i don't give away the italian titles but this is late here and i'm too tired for searching them, i want to go to bed!
