4 thoughts on “Readership Statistics, III: The Role of Content”
Hi! I write from Spain -sorry for my english- In fact i´m doing a investigation about comics and i have a question: the dates about te Role of Contents, where are thet form?
Thanks
Wowser… your methodology on this was really sloppy. Firstly your questioning is inconsistent, vague, undirected in places & loaded in other places… Not to mention a lack of a preface at the start of the study. In fact the only conclusion you could really draw from any of these numbers is that people in large numbers are ignorant of the realities of the industry & are more then a little self entitled.
Hi Kelly – This was not a formal study or anything formal at ALL. I said in the preface to part I that it was a casual survey. This was more about seeing what a group of people who read comics think about the state of the industry, not about being a definitive survey on the facts of the industry. It was in support of the thesis I wrote, but not my only research by a long shot. Also, what’s not included here are the nearly 2000 text responses to the more in-depth questions I asked, which would’ve been impossible to run in full.
Also, I’m not sure what you mean by your last statement, about being “ignorant of the realities of the industry” and “more than a little self entitled” but frankly I think this is reflective of the experiences most women in comics have today.

Hi “super escape artist”—
These figures have all been collected and compiled over the last couple months. Hot off the presses, in other words.
