A lil' Q and A, part one
beatonna: Hey there!  It’s question and answer time! A few weeks ago I put out an open call for questions about the comics industry.  A penance maybe, for having so many unanswered emails on these kinds of topics.  I’m sorry!  My email is terrible.

Keli working at Zeus Comics
ladiesincomicbookstores: Meet Keli. This photo of her was taken today, comic book Wednesday! She works part time at Zeus Comics in Dallas, TX and was a former manager at another comic shop in a neighboring town. She’s awesome.
