I could have easily sold out to a way bigger company and made a lot of money and wouldn't have to worry about stuff but there were issues with that. Once I knew there were enough publishers interested, then I started to try to get exactly what I wanted format-wise The book is what matters most. The book might've been 75 percent completed, Hip Hop volume 1, as I was just seeing what my options were. I took a lot of time to figure out who I wanted to publish this first book. I only have about 28 pages to draw of that. We're looking to get issue 2 out for Comic-Con next year and that'll be 7 or 8 months after the first book comes out. I just sent them a mock cover for issue 2. Piskor: Who knows, man, but I just had a conversation, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to fully go public with this. That's the thing with certain friends of ours, they're so calculated, man, and I'm nervous to think that they think I'm as calculated as that. I'm not looking for parts of the market that haven't been tapped yet or some kind of bullshit like that, man. I just want to do comics that I want to do. It's not a calculated decision on my part. So you take comics imagery and stick it with peoples' favorite subjects, man, and that becomes a really inviting waste of time for them. The big thing with comics imagery is that it's so inviting to look at, it could stop you in your tracks if you're looking at just any old regular magazine and you come across a Mark Zingarelli ad for Altoids, you stop dead in your tracks and you'll stick with it for a few extra seconds. I think that people appreciate that the time is being put in on such a real project and it has a kitsch value to it. Piskor: Well, first of all, I don't know that that isn't the case somewhere.
