Truth be told, I rather doubted I was ever going to do a piece of Capital. Only the most earnest of comic book collectors know they were ever more than a comics distributor.
Capital was our secondary distributor in the early 90s, behind Heroes World. Capital and Diamond rapidly reduced catalog space for indies, as Marvel and DC merch took up bigger bites of their catalogs each month. We were glad that we exited before the Heroes World debacle.
"The Death of Superman" told us all we needed to know about mainstream comics, and that would be the death knell for general indie distribution as well when Marvel went exclusive with Heroes World, until the Internet became commercialized.
