This is a great interview with Bud Plant, who talks a little bit about his publishing The First Kingdom in it’s original incarnation through the 70s into the early 80s. It’s interesting to note all of the innovations Bud handled, including comics stores, publishing, direct mail distribution and independent publishing. Jack Katz was an innovator too. Coming from the big, mainstream companies, Jack needed an avenue for expression and independent publishing was the ticket. Jack is of course grateful to Bud for taking a chance to produce something original and for sticking to it over the 15 years it took to produce the opus.
