Just wanted to share with you guys an interview that I did for the premier web broadcast of "Comic Zone" a one hour program that debuted yesterday. My segment gives a bit of an overview of the hobby.

 

It's hosted by Vincent from Metro.

 

Here's the link to the broadcast:

Listening now...cool DAM.

[Rocketeer]

Very cool,..But I can't get rid of that image of Vince ,in those hippie striped pants he wore at the BIg apple show.....

[Rocketeer]

Dave...."What exactly is it about Batman That turns you on?!!!!"

[minutekev@50]

Dave, 'what is it about Batman that turns you on?'

[minutekev@50]

Wow, deja vu

[Rocketeer]

That was really great!!,...Congrads to both you and Vince....

I'm going to have to listen for sure now. Is it the playboy alter ego? Fast car? Fruity sidekick?

[blazingbob]

Yes, I will be a future "guest". This is a great post by the way and leads into my next comment.

 

For all the "kvetching" that goes on about Metropolis, I think people should give them some support in them working their butts off to promote the hobby. I don't see too many other dealers out there using the Media to do the same.

 

My personal Rant,

Bob

[Mushroom]

Yes...they certainly deserve some kudos.

[Foolkiller]

This is great! I hope it lasts for a while.

[Red Hook]

Great!, Dave and Bob, listening now.....I even was willing to load a Windows Media Player onto my Mac G4 to listen! That's support!

[Rocketeer]

Kvetch?...about Metropolis.?.....I can't recall much bashing against Metroplois...in fact besides Blazing Bob's Big Boy...I think they are one of the most respected dealers around,...

One thing that I never made public: I brokered a deal to Metro for a Batman #9 cgc 9.4 with OW-W pages. It was truly a beautiful book. A lot of guys buy ads in the OS saying that they pay the most, but Metro really does pay the most and their check's don't bounce. It was a really great transaction and Vincent was very good to me and gave me the grand tour of the place. (btw - I would buy anything from metro just to go and have the chance to take a look at their wonderful gallery! it'll be worth the price of admission!).

 

Vincent and Stephen are good guys

Dave, how dare you self-promote yourself like that, you insecure, self-aggrandizing braggart!! What, you don't see me going on the radio everytime I feel I have something to say about comics. The next thing you know, you will be telling us about your job and sharing details of your personal life! How dare you try to share your thoughts and experiences and try to bond with people on the Boards! Ooooooooh, I am sooooo mad!!! I think I'm going to go troll somebody and inflict some punishment bids now to blow off some steam!!

 

Just kidding, man. Kudos to those promoting the hobby and I look forward to listening to the program when I get home tonight.

No offense, but isn't this a little... ridiculous? Praising comic book DEALERS for promoting comic books? Isn't that a bit like praising Wal-Mart for extolling the virtues of deep-discount crapola? McDonald's for advocating the nutritional value of Grade H beef?

It would be if more dealers did it. They don't. Metro deserves praise for their efforts in this area.

Why? I would still call it "advertising." Wouldn't more dealers do it if they had the resources?

[Bronty]

Interesting point re advertising. But if I had to guess I would say that if it were purely profit motivated vincent would have better uses for his time. It's not like people haven't heard of metro. Part advertising for the store, part promotion of the hobby for the greater good?
