The Artist, The Publisher And The Lack Of Payment

There is an artist. And a publisher. One of the top ten publishers. The artist signed on draw a couple of comics last year, under a tight deadlne, which they met. They sent in their signed contracts as agreed and waited for payment. And waited. And waited. They didn't get it.

Emails were sent, new dates were promised, then broken. Repeatedly. Then no e-mails at all. Nothing.

The artist complained to some friends. They suggested they contact Bleeding Cool. I received the email, I made enquiries. The publisher made excuses – that the contracts hadn't been returned. But I had seen evidence to the contrary, and pointed this out,

Ten minutes after the artist had contacted me, the publisher contacted the artist. They agreed a payment plan.

If they don;t stick to it, I'll name the artist and the publisher. But for now, the right thing has been done.
