Catch more from Comics by Perch on YouTube
I remember how Diamond killed other distributors, including their biggest rival, Advanced Comics. By getting DC and other publishers to an exclusive deal they put Advanced out of business. Diamond grabbed so many that Advanced could only counter with manga and some of the smaller popular publishers. Sure, TODAY Advanced would have cleaned up on manga but back then they went out of business and Diamond was just short of a monopoly. Going to a smaller store at the time that only got comics to meet the quota for the sports cards they were selling, they were shorted and screwed over many times, and I missed issues as a result. This also happened when that store closed and I resumed my comic collecting with a bigger store, but not be enough for Diamond to care, a problem I never had with Advanced Comics. It’s long overdue karma if you ask me.
