Since the day we met Jim Rugg at Heroes Aren't Hard to Find as part of the Afrodesiac tour, he has been a favorite of the Dollar Bin.

Sure, he has made appearances and has been reviewed and talked about in detail, but this is our first in-depth interview with him. Let's see if we can figure out what makes Jim Rugg tick.

Article: Cheap Trade Hunting Grounds

Dollar Bin Productions — Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:36:00 +0000

Times are tight and we all want to stretch our buying power just a little bit. I made the switch about 5 years to trades only. No floppies, singles, monthlies, or whatever term is now being used for the monthly fix. So far this year I have bought 157 graphic novels with a face value of $2153.00 for only 387.00; which means I am paying only slightly under 18% of the face value or an 82% discount if you wish. How do I know this? Well I am one of those collector’s who are anal-retentive when it comes to my comics. I keep a spreadsheet with the date and location of the purchase, the title, what I paid, and the actual cover price. This way I can monitor my purchases and see which places are best to go back to. If you are a slave of the Big 2 and will only read full-color capes and tights books then you find this article to be less useful as oddly enough even though the Big 2 produce more trades I find books by smaller publisers at a rate of 4:1. However, if you are looking to scratch that comic itch cheaply then please continue.

Unrelated: The Glass Menagerie

Dollar Bin Productions — Sat, 06 Jul 2013 02:36:18 +0000

Today is my friend Jen’s birthday. While going through old stuff, I found this on my hard drive and decided, why not share it with the world. Back when she was the college radio manager at the College of Notre Dame of Maryland (an all girls school) she coaxed some friends and a professor into producing a radio drama of The Glass Menagerie. She is the reason I started working with post editing of spoken word broadcasts leading me to realize I enjoyed doing it. Without her the Dollar Bin, at least as it is, may not exist. Happy birthday, Jen. Runtime 48 minutes 03 seconds

Review: Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer Vol 1 TP

Dollar Bin Productions — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 20:47:25 +0000

Leave your preconceptions at the door. All of them. This isn’t a gimmicky re-imagining of the Pinocchio story like those mash-up novels, nor is it like the “happily ever after” Disney animated feature. Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer is a well-told continuation of the original Carlo Collodi tale. Van Jensen and Dusty Higgins make this clear right away. Don’t skip over the forward or the summary of the original, it is essential to the basic framework of the story about to unfold.

Comic Reviews: The Case of Charles Dexter Ward & Gettysburg: The Graphic History

Dollar Bin Productions — Fri, 03 May 2013 04:56:54 +0000

The parents of Charles Dexter Ward are very worried. You see, the Wards have tried very hard to hide that they are the descendents of an evil New England necromancer from hundreds of years ago, and Charles has found out about the family’s little secret. And what’s more, his appearance bears more than a passing resemblance to that ancestor Joseph Curwen, now since long dead and feels a connection urging him forward to learn more of how his ancestor achieved his power over the dead.

Ranting Out A Review: Bedlam

Dollar Bin Productions — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 23:07:08 +0000

The Price: I don’t normally buy the floppies anymore but decided to give this debut issue a look. The $3.50 cover price might give you a moment of pause, but that price is a steal considering that you get 48 pages of story and Marvel and DC routinely charge $3.99 for 20 something pages. Not to mention that all 48 pages are story with zero ads! The Format: I don’t consider myself any sort of expert in paper quality, but this seemed like better quality than your standard DC or Marvel release as well. But after consulting with myself, I seem to be of the opinion that most of the Image books I read could also make that claim. The exterior and interior pages are of the slick finish variety with the cover being just a bit thicker than the pages. Bonus points for no ink smudges on the book or my fingers when I was finished reading.

Ranting Out A Review: Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe

Dollar Bin Productions — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:06:42 +0000

The Price: As usual I used store credit at my local comic shop (and former employer) to purchase this book so the cover price of $14.99 wasn’t a big issue for me. However, considering that the cover price on the original issues was $2.99, this collection of a 4 issue mini-series is actually more expensive than the single issues. So much for waiting for the trade to save a few bucks… The Format: This is just the standard Marvel series trade release. There are no frills and only a few pages of covers, layouts and scripts to pass for special features. And did I mention that it is actually more expensive than the single issues?

Ranting Out a Review: Batman: Earth One

Dollar Bin Productions — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 14:26:18 +0000

The Story: Batman: Earth One, written by Geoff Johns, is exactly what you expect. It retells Batman’s origin story in a way to keep it familiar while changing up things just enough to seem a little different. It not in anyway a bad comic, but better stories have been told of this period of Batman’s career. The Price: I used store credit (and my discount) at my local comic shop to purchase this book so the cover price of $22.99 was agreeable for me. In fact looking at my recent purchases on my Bat-related book shelf I notice that it is a few bucks less for a few pages less than all of them. The Format: I like the hardcover trade format. I like it more when they are over-sized like DC Comics has done with some of Grant Morrison’s recent Bat-books, but even at standard size I enjoy them more than a normal trade paper back (TPB). My complaint about Batman: Earth One’s format is that it does not read like a “graphic novel” as I thought it should, but instead it reads like the first TPB of a new Batman series. This might just be my individual expectations not being met more than anything else.

HeroesCon 2011: Master of Screaming Metal: Tribute to Moebius

Dollar Bin Productions — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 20:58:11 +0000

Exerpt from Ben Towle’s Blog: We showed the documentary Moebius Redux, which was really well-done, although it certainly shied away from addressing some of the more troubling aspects of the artist’s later career. The real star of the panel, though, was Geof Darrow who had a seemingly-limitless well of hilarious anecdotes about Moebius. My friend and co-conspirator Craig Fischer wrapped up the presentation with a really fascinating discussion that made me (and others I’d guess) question the conventional narrative about the division between Jean Giraud and “Moebius.”

Review: Amelia Earhart: This Broad Ocean

Dollar Bin Productions — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:34:54 +0000

I began writing this review April 29, 2011 then a bunch of stuff happened. I made it as far as the first 2 paragraphs. I’ve completed it just now and I feel the exactly the same. I don’t usually write reviews for the Dollar Bin. I tend to convey my opinions on the audio recordings. However, after I finished reading the Eisner nominated Amelia Earhart: This Broad Ocean by Sarah Stewart Taylor and Ben Towle I just had to get my thoughts and emotions out now, so here I write. I want to start by telling you that multiple times through my reading experience I felt my whole body well up with emotion. I found myself just grinning and tearing up all at the same time. (Did I mention I was reading this in the middle of a crowed restaurant? Well I was and the threat of out-pouring emotions was a little embarrassing.) Ben Towle has the incredible ability to give characters with simple black dot eyes the most amazing range of expression. I truly felt every bout of anxiety, moment of anticipation, and glimmer of hope along with Amelia and the rest of the cast. Even has I flip through the book to write this review I keep catching myself grinning as I scan the panels. Sarah Stewart Taylor’s tale of Amelia Earhart as told through the eyes of the young Grace Goodland, writer of the self published local newspaper, The Trepassey Herald, couldn’t have been told any better. Grace is a pioneer of her own merit and is the perfect conduit to relay such a powerful example of hope and inspiration. Her story is both informational and encouraging. The scenes depicted as the tale is told are well paced and so full of hope and wonder. Click to read more…

Just like the ads say, MySpace really is a place for friends. To keep in touch with old ones, make new ones and to then bug some of them for interviews. This of course brings us to our new friend and incredibly talented artist Cliff Chiang, who was nice enough to take time out of his busy schedule for this interview. Brian - Do you remember what your introduction to comics was and when you decided that you wanted to work in the industry? Cliff - I knew about comics, but didn’t really follow them until my older brother started buying them. Mostly Marvel stuff: X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc. We were really into it for a few years but stopped reading when it got harder to track down issues after things went to the direct market system. I got back into comics in college, after reading Sandman and Hellblazer, and that’s when I realized that maybe comics could be a career for me.
