Gives a rare inside look at Western/Whitman Comics, one of the most overlooked publishers in the fan press. Discusses reviving Magnus, Robot Fighter and Dr. Solar (he read all the old issues and pushed for the revivals himself), the peculiar challenges of the "three-in-a-bag" distribution model that eliminates individual sales figures and makes letters pages impossible, and pay rates lower than Marvel/DC. Reveals that Whitman's printing has been frozen since March but he's built up a year's worth of inventory so they won't be caught short if it resumes. Defends the new Magnus against a negative Comics Journal review that focused on the art while ignoring the story.
