Wilberforce—a Sergeant on the Metropolitan Police Detective Force. 

But Wilberforce was no common “Jack” (police officer). Even before working with the famous Chung Ling Soo (The Case Of The Thames Serpent), Wilberforce had “tasted the chin strap” on many tough cases –even a stint in the Army saw him used because of his detective skills. 

Here, Ben R. Dilworth, gives us a sneak peek into Wilberforce’s Case Notes for 1896. 

“A Jack’s lot is not a happy one” and Wilberforce was not just dealing with the ordinary criminals such as the nobblers, rampsmen, smashers, mobsmen, snoozers and skinners…. ...there were the spectres, the satanic followers, vampires and other monsters —things the ordinary copper never usually encountered and often scoffed at the stories of. Wilberforce knew better.

Are You An American Comic Publisher

 I have heard from many who ventured into comic publishing that, despite all the talk of comic

stores being willing to stock Indie titles, very few were willing to.  I have also hear how, at conventions where they spend a lot -a LOT- of money on tables they are pushed out of the way of the main crowds, mainstream comics and toy sellers.

Please, if you are an Indie publisher let me know the problems you have had at events as well as trying to get stores to take your books.  

We all need to help each other out and highlight problems small publishers face.

Thank You
