COFFEE IS FOR CLOSERS

Sales is an art form.

And as any other art, there is those who master it. These are the guys who can sell anything: Sand in the desert, ice on Antartica and even Independent Comics on San Diego Comic Book Convention. I'm not saying that independent comics are this or that, I'm just saying that is hard to be the "pusher" of this little big bussines.
One of the best dealers (On Line and now Off line too) that I've known is Brian Scott Johnson, the owner and founder of Khepri Comics. He can show you the best line up of indy comics on the web (and in the whole Phoenix County) and also can get you any action figure you want. But the beauty of his work is not only in selecting the finnest books around, it lies on his knowledge of the comic book art form and it's craft. He knows what he sells.
I had the chance of working with Brian on his booth at San Diego, and before that when he helped at Terra Major. I learned a great deal, about sales, about not making a sale and about keeping my eye on the ball. I learned enough to use it in my own life and I´m very greatful for that.

Brian is the example of what we need to keep the Comic Book bussines runnig. And if you don't beleive in me, I'm sure that he can change your mind. Just ask his lovely wife Tatum!
