      Here's hoping this leads to a whole series of Tales...
      I'm looking forward to it being so successful that you can fly over here and get a UK perspective at one of our cons (Bristol, Thoughtbubble, Kapow, Glasgow?)...
      Some of those questions would have very different answers, I'm sure!

      UNTOLD TALES OF THE COMIC INDUSTRY on September 15, 2011

      My wife Jessica asked me to share this from her Facebook page:

      I just want to say "thank you" to everyone that helped fund Brandon's documentary. He's been a nervous wreck for the past 30 days, and because of you we might both enjoy a night of deep sleep tonight! I'm hoping he'll "sleep like the dead" without the "dead" part.

      $18k is just unbelievable...for a documentary it's considered a smaller budget, yes, but I've seen what they've been able to do so far with no budget...so I just cannot wait for this thing to be made! Congrats Brandon, Ali, and Tom!
