Comico co-founder and publisher Gerry Giovinco and Art Director/Production Manager Geraldine Pecht reflect on the company's five-year journey from crude black-and-white self-published books through Black September to its current position as a quality color publisher competing with Marvel and DC on the newsstand. Giovinco attributes survival of Black September to lucky timing — no product in the pipeline meant no capital exposure — and credits Diana Schutz's production scheduling with Comico's 100% on-time delivery record since February 1985. Both discuss ambitions to move beyond the direct-sales market into bookstores, K-Mart, and educational institutions.
