Where did the concept for Princeless come from?Īt the point that we started working on it we were about to have my daughter, and although I’d gotten back into comics, unfortunately, there wasn’t much out there for me to read with her. In this interview with SyFy, I talk about my favorite comics and why I create them.
“JEREMY WHITLEY on PRINCELESS’ Future & Its Future with Libraries” Newsarama. So, if we’re going to reach this audience and help librarians do the same, hardback is the format we need to be using to reach them.
Trade paperbacks aren’t built to sustain the kind of abuse they do in a library. In libraries we have a chance to be a kid’s first comic or to reach kids that might not have the money or comic shop to go get the book in stores.Īnd when you talk to librarians, their number one complaint about trade paperbacks is that a number of them don’t last more than a few check outs. The thing is, being an all-ages comic with a message of reaching a diverse young audience, there is no market that’s more important to us than libraries. Whitley: That’s a great question as, as I mentioned, we already have the book out in softcover. Long story short? Paperback books don’t last long in libraries. The penultimate arc of the main Princeless story begins August 28 with Princeless Book 9: Save Yourself, but at the same time Whitley and publisher Action Lab Entertainment are raising funds via Kickstarter for a hardcover edition of Book 3 aimed specifically at libraries – which the writer said is the franchise’s most-prized market.
Jeremy Whitley sees his long-running story in Princeless ending in the next few years, but the future is bright with “a whole world of new possibilities.” In this interview with Zack Smith for Newsarama, I get to talk about the latest Princeless Kickstarter – aimed at getting some hardcovers for volume three.
