Media Resource Guide
Version 11.0, January 11, 2003
This guide is a service of indy Magazine;
a magazine dedicated to the coverage of independent comic
books, published by Alternative Comics. All contents are
compiled and

Jeff
Mason.
This is a guide that I've been putting together of folks that you
should consider when sending out press information, mostly comic book
related.
Please let me know what I am missing, if I've made any mistakes, as
well as add information to the entries that I have already listed. Send
all corrections, additions, and comments
to: jmason@indyworld.com. For more
information, check out the comic book information on my home page.
You may freely distribute this list as long as it is not for profit in
any form and remains completely intact with credits.
