MY FIFTEEN MINUTE AFTERNOON BREAK 3:30-3:45 PM March 11, 2002

Ok that was supposed to be rehabilitated- I tried correcting it, but for some inexplicable reason, the edit feature crapped out on me.

Ok, well for those just joining me, my name is Cary Coatney- I used to be a hot commodity in the pages of the Oh So letters column of the weekly Comics Buyer's Guide- of which I also contributed a few articles that I actually got paid for ( but not enough to buy that deluxe penthouse in the sky), but now I'm nothing but a stupid burnout. I try to self publish a comic book called the Deposit Man. It's not seen by very many people and I only self publish it to let people know that I still reside amongst the human race and that I haven't contracted whooping cough or something of another nature. My feature was first introduced in a anthology called MALICE published by Death Comics. It didn't come out the way I expected it to and I parted ways before I agreed to spin the character into his own book(s).
Diamond carried that book and sold a modest sum of 600 copies- but Diamond refused to carry my next self published effort, THE DEPOSIT MAN KALEIDOSCOPIC MEDICINE FREAK SHOW due to content. FM International is the only distributor I seem to have a good working relationship with as they sold that one and had no problem supplying my second done- in- one effort, THE DEPOSIT MAN SURVIVAL GUIDE TO THE AFTERLIFE. I'm in the process of getting a three issue Deposit Man mini-series completed entitled THE DEPOSIT MAN AND THE LAST GREAT GATE OF MORTALITY hopefully in time for the San Deigo Comic Con.

OK my fifteen minutes are up- tomorrow I will go into a lengthy rant about what these books are about.
