Time for this week's warning from Tony Isabella, one of the biggest names in comics:
[It appears another young comics creator has gotten himself hooked up with the Vile One, a clear sign we haven't spread the word about him as much as we should. So here's a repeat of my original warning. I give blanket permission for this warning to be reposted and e-mailed to anyone who you think might be in danger of getting involved with Olney.]
A message to all my friends and readers...
If you are approached by an individual named Rick Olney or a representive of this man, if you are approached by Olney or anyone else representing entities known as The Mighty Mini-Con, TightLip Entertainment, or ORCA, I strongly urge you to run in the other direction. You can find more details here:
http://www.unscrewedcomic.com/ Please, if you trust me, do not attempt to do business with Olney. In fact, please pass along this warning to any comics professionals, aspiring comics professionals, retailers, exhibitors, media guests, and fans you know.
Olney is not someone you want to do business with.
I'd hoped not to involve myself in this in such a public manner, but, with Olney again advertising a convention and claiming that he is still planning to publish comic books, the greater good demands I speak out.
