About 'Decline' section[edit]

In this section is said: <<In 1986, Eclipse lost most of its back-issue stock in a flood.>> But when you read the reference linked, you find Cat Yronwood saying: <<In 1986, i was living in Guerneville, California, and working for Eclipse Comics, when the Russian River and its tributary Hulbert Creek flooded and converged, putting my house under eight feet of water. I lost my five file copies of the beautifully printed chapter of The Lesser Book, but two good people, Eluki XXX and Barrance C. Lespine , supplied replacements, for which i am very grateful. My original ledger book manuscript escaped the flood by virtue of having been stored in a loft above the water line.>>

I don't read anything that confirms that Eclipse lost most os its back-issue stock. Yronwood lost some originals, of course, but I don't think that a personal lost (that was replaced) would be a reason for the decline six years later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.22.210.75 (talk) 14:25, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this is cat. The loss of many hundreds of cartons of back stock comic books -- about 90% of our published back stock -- in the flood meant that no further back issue subscription sales could be undertaken, and those sales were a distinct portion of the company's income. In addition, all of the four-colour film negatives for past printed comics were lost in the flood, and because this was in the pre-digital era, the result was that no graphic album collections could be produced from the issues thus affected, limiting another source of income which had previously been profitable. There have been those who, over the years have claimed that these losses were not great, but in fact they were significant and the company never regained its strong financial position after the flood. cat yronwode, not logged in 75.101.104.17 (talk) 06:38, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Work to do[edit]

Having done a lot of research of the research for the Miracleman pages it made sense to try and spruce this page up a bit; I've tried to keep it balanced and avoid it becoming too much about either some of the people involved or particular titles that can be dealt with on their own pages. There are a couple of areas I hope to work on in the future, though.

The first is that while IMHO it is robustly sourced at the moment most of them are contemporary. Love to find some more modern retrospective articles on the company that aren't just about Miracleman.
The second is the non-payment section; again at the moment while cited accurately it's MM centric, could do with either any other complaints or a look at why only MM creators have complained.
The third is why exactly the Airboy titles stopped; my understanding is that this was one of the few titles actually owned by Eclipse at the time, so even if Dixon was busy with 4Winds you'd think it would have continued in some form.

My next project I've set myself is List of Eclipse Comics publications, with a side-order of trying to improve some of the extant pages for the titles as I go, so this might turn up a bit more. In the meantime though I'd love some thoughts. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 23:44, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
