US Disney Comics Production-Gemstone

[Rob Klein]

The main reason why there is no budget for US production is because the potential market
for selling 
traditional Disney Comics in USA (and/or Canada) is much too small to guarantee enough
sales to even 
pay for the printing, distribution and editorial staff required.  

Artists and writers (like Rosa, Van Horn, Block, Lustig, The McGreals, myself and others)
must seek 
employment from Disney Comics franchises that have enough buyers to bring in enough
revenue to have 
enouigh left over after a reasonable profit to pay for the costs of story production.  If
they don't sell 
enough, they must simply get the stories from franchises who produce, and only pay minor
fees for 
copying and handling.

The era of comic books being a decent sized business in USA seems to have passed by.  From
what I see 
while in USA half the year is that children don't read much, and when they do, not much of
it is in physical 
paper-paged books.  Most of what they read is in the form of prompts on the
computer.
