BATTLEGROUND VICTORY is a new
independent publishing imprint created
by Sean Patty in 2006 for the production,
promotion and distribution of
creator-owned comics and magazines like
Patty's "Worgard: Viking Berserkir," a bold
uncompromising vision among the
current offerings of juvenile mainstream
superhero, pop culture and movie tie-in
titles available today.
Independent comics publishers and
distributors, retailers and consumers
need to support one another if this art
form is to survive. Our industry is
dominated by ONE distributor, the
monopoly Diamond Comic Distributors
(DCD), owned by President and CEO
Stephen A. Geppi. After signing
exclusivity/brokerage contracts with the
major corporate publishers, namely
Marvel and DC (plus Image and Dark
Horse), in the last ten years DCD has
assimilated all competition, becoming the
largest supplier of English-language
non-returnable comics for the American
Direct Market (DM) specialty retailer.
