Many publishers will Google future properties that have a proven audience with daily hits. Copper is one of those superior strips out there for some time. Hard work will result gold at the end of the rainbow. The Flight book has exposed many a great talent out there, and their books get better each year. Way to go. There is still more talent out there still untapped. This is the way of the future. Many publishers will Google future properties that have a proven audience with daily hits.

I ran a Scholastic Book Fair over the past 7 days, in which both volumes of Diary of a Wimpy Kid sold out, and Amulet almost did (1 copy left). When I mentioned the web comic origins, no one had heard of them. Maybe our little Roman Catholic private school is insulated from many worldly things, I don't know (although I, the librarian, certainly am not). But the books sold very well. I anticipate the same for Copper. For one thing, as soon as the book is published, I'll be booktalking it. In our school, the volumes of Bone (the color editions) are the top circulating books in the entire library collection. Oh yeah, the Bone volumes, especially Old Man's Cave and Ghost Circles, sold very well too.
