History



Silver Bullet Comics


The site was founded in January 2000 as Silver Bullet Comic Books by its New Zealand-based publisher/editor Jason Brice.


During this period, the site made efforts to support retired comics professionals. In a Silver Bullet column called Past Masters, contributor Clifford Meth wrote about his efforts to support ailing comic book artist Dave Cockrum. As a result of his advocacy, Marvel Comics announced it would compensate Cockrum for his work in co-creating the X-Men.[1] In 2005, Silver Bullet partnered with Aardwolf Publishing to publish a benefit book in support of ailing comics writer/artist William Messner-Loebs. Silver Bullet provided free advertising and promotion of the project on their site.[2]


Former Managing Editor Craig R. Johnson became associated with Dave Sim's controversial views on feminism when he stepped into a debate between Sim and the Friends of Lulu Board of Directors to defend freedom of expression in the comic book industry.[3]



Comics Bulletin


On January 14, 2008, the site was relaunched as Comics Bulletin, in order to avoid confusion with a retail site. Online comics blogger Johanna Draper Carlson suggested the name change as a result of pressure from the unrelated but similarly named comics retailer Silver Bullet Comics, "...since SBC had a US trademark registration".[4][5]


In the same year, Jason Sacks took over from Keith Dallas as editor-in-chief for the site, and revamped the design and attitude. He eventually bought the site outright in 2011 and is the current owner and publisher. The site debuted a podcast in the same year, called "Comics You Can Dance To", alongside a number of new columns. Writers for the site in 2015 include Kate Leth and Don McGregor.
