# 7 – Improved Production
Values:
Thanks to constantly advancing technologies in the printing
industry, better paper made more cheaply, computerized color-separation and a
host of other reasons, production costs for high quality comic books has dropped
dramatically. So much so that even smaller publishers, with only a handful of
titles, can afford to put out a more attractive, better packaged product.
In addition to that, the internet with all of its innovative
applications, like Instant Messaging and Video Conferencing, make it possible
for writers and artists to easily communicate with one another even if they
live in different cities – or different countries. This allows collaborations
between people who otherwise may have never worked together – or even met.
The introduction of many new comic book creators from South and Central
Americas and Eastern Europe, as well, has provided comic book publishers with a
talent pool that is deeper and wider than it has ever been before. This means
that publishers can afford to be choosier about who they hire and don’t have to
settle for mediocre writers or artists. And that ensures better quality content
across the board.
All of these facts combine to provide us, the
fans with a greater selection of well written, beautifully drawn and colored
comic books than we have ever had available to us before. There is virtually
something on the racks for everyone.
