Non-notable artistic work (self-published comic series) which fails to meet WP:GNG, and if we extrapolate WP:NB it also fails those criteria. I searched for sources using the standard Google books/scholar/news search as well as a full academic/library database search (ProQuest, InfoTrac, EBSCOhost, JSTOR, and others), and wasn't able to find any reliable sources to establish notability for this work. If the artist is notable, that's great, but that doesn't confer notability on his works separately. --Darkwind (talk) 20:13, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I remember this one! I'm old, LOL. But I'm not sure it's notable.... Bearian (talk) 20:41, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the series and author had multiple mentions and fifteen page interview with him in the Comics Journal, a bunch of mentions in Wizard magazine... for the time that's about as notable as you can get without actually selling a ton of copies... it's worth remembering that self-published meant something different in the comics Direct Market than it does in the book world...Seanmercy (talk) 06:43, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
