Big Planet Comics to distribute Box Brown's Retrofit Comics
Heidi MacDonald's The Beat has learned that Big Planet Comics is going to distribute Box Brown's Retrofit Comics - the story by is here:
ComicsDC will be following up on this, but it appears that this is being developed by Jared Smith,
formerly the force behind Mars Import, the excellent Euro-comics source of the late 90s.
The byline to this should go to Matt Dembicki who caught it, but didn't want to type it out on
his smartphone.
