Hey Guys,
If I was promoting a comic, these are the shops I would start with. These guys have been around the block.
Shops on this list are either:
#1- Top buyers, they have a chain of stores or deep pockets.
#2- Host regular events with creators & are natural born promoters.
#3-Reputation as friend to the creator, or are young, new & energetic or only stock indies.
Promoting your book to retailers definitely will take up some time, if it's going to eat into your creative process consider an intern. or business manager.
If you cannot make a connection with these people & sell your book, Rethink the way you are currently doing business.

If all you can do for me is lift your fat lazy finger to favorite the list. Great.
If it gets enough use, I'll post:
