UPDATE: Feb 25. I want to thank my old buddy Alex for linking HCR up to his ultra-slick "Destroy All Monsters" website. DAM gets a LOT of hits. Any DAM traffic checking us out can see this is a newbie website, but we're working on it! Thanks for your interest in us! We are trying to prove to Diamond Comic Distributors that a fanzine can be successfully distributed w/o their corporate nationwide tentacles, so Alex agreed to aid me in this grass roots fandom movement.

The issue w/Diamond was that they wanted us to purchase minimum $375 in advertising on a 300 issue order to distribute us. Keep in mind they already take 60% off of the cover price ($5) as their fee and I have to pay to ship the books to them. Let's not forget that I also have to pay the printer, & the 'zine is already marked down so that it is non-profit for me. Doesn't take a genius to see that my already unemployed ass would LOSE on the deal, so I declined to buy advertising.

Diamond then told me the 'zine wouldn't be carried because we weren't up to the standard of slick, commercial magazines... our quality was too poor. What?! If I was to purchase advertising that would change things, they said. Huh?! How does my ad budget determine my print quality?! I told them we could sell 300 copies w/out their "help."
