Moondog Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Many of you know my background: Opened the first comic book store in suburban Chicago in 1978. Sold the 6-store Moondog's chain to Classics International Entertainment in 1994. Partner in the Chicago Comicon. Developer of the ComiCovers and the ComiCare line of collector supplies, Overstreet advisor, Windy City collection, etc...blah, blah, blah... Of all the weirdos, jerks, crooks and other ne'er-do-wells I've come across in all these years - in all the different facets of the comics business - Crestohl and Ross rank at or near the top. We're talking rarified Dupchek territory here. The fact that they actually sold a 1,000,000 Comics franchise is beyond belief to me. The slime just oozed out of them. I would think that it had to be obvious even to those with stars in their eyes... Not to open old wounds, but how much did it cost you in the end?

HouseofComics.Com Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 So while we're waiting, how about some quick background? So Gerry Ross was offering some kind of big package deal, along with advice? Was this advertised in CBG and Overstreet, kind of like the Koch and/or Dolgoff big package deals? I, too, am looking forward to hearing how it turned out!
