Since you own the rights for Next Men- can any company reprint the series or can only dark Horse?
If someone other than DH can maybe we can make DC reprint all of next men into that phone book type trade??

I once heard if Lab Rats sold well DC would consider publishing Next Men.

I also heard JB had offered Next Men to DC but they wanted something new..... he gave them Lab Rats.

I have a friend in the DC office.

ohhh...
but who could it be?
Hmm I wonder if Fantagraphics ever went defunct.
Oh well I suppose I can wait until eleven o'clock tonight to find out.
And yes I do seem to take things very literal!

Fantagraphics is still publishing, though they tend to cater to the Alternative Press fans.

Maybe Dark Horse smells money?

Just remember to include the back-ups.

It's a shame the letter columns couldn't be included in a collected edition, because they were more thought-provoking and enlightening than the majority of actual comics which were doing the rounds at the time. "A Flame About This High" was consistently entertaining.

quick thought about lettercolumns-

if dark horse decided to reprint JBNM without the letters and then just produced a PDF file (available online) out of the old letterpage files, they could save money & add value to their website at the same time.

A Flame About THis High...

That column rocked. I re-read the entire series recently, and loved looking back at the column. Always entertaining, funny, and sometimes sad, it was one of the things that made the book special.

A flame about this high and his responses to letters really made me rethink good comics and bad comics at the time.
Best part of the book- and the comic stories were great too.
