The way I understand how Image worked at first, they were so big they were able to weather a lot of criticism for a few years, and then once things got tricky, they made the smart move to bring in Larry Marder to get the trains running on time, if you will. Add in what Valentino did with bringing in a lot of indie books to the Image fold, and you've got the foundation of today's Image, which I believe is the third biggest US comics company. <br /><br />Would Image have run the same course if Deni was involved from the start? Possibly she could have gotten the original members in line quicker, but overall, I'd doubt that she could have improved things all that much. Not a knock on her, just saying that Image was so big at first they could have had virtually anyone running the show at the start. <br /><br />Is Deni doing anything in comics now?Travis Pelkienoreply@blogger.com
