So, as it now stands, I am to find a publisher and have it contact Tezuka Co. in regards to using images.

Still working on it! Just ordered Mari Shimuzu's book about being Atom's voice. Also manga of CHIEF DETECTIVE KENICHI, because 1 of his stories was adapted into the B^W series.

:cry: It is like I am standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon, & the goal, having the book published, is on the other side. I just do not know how to proceed. A few years ago, I was looking for Literary Agents, but found none interested. I gave-up.

It's called 'vanity press'. That's a type of publishing company that will print your book for you. But you will have to sell it yourself and pay for the cost of publishing it. This can work out for you, but you'd need both the seed money to have the book published, and the connections to get it on the market. I have a few books that were clearly published this way. There are many 'gems' out there that would have never seen their first printing if their authors hadn't taken the risk of paying to have their books published. Some of these sold well enough that a publisher paid for their second printings (in larger numbers).

Thanks, Tetsuwan Penguin. I knew of the pay to publish deal, but was not happy about taking the risk. I am 65, & on fixed income. Had been thinking about TRSI, Perhaps S. Kleckner might be interested?

Currently 'reading' JLV Greatest Robot. I figure I ought to tie it in with PLUTO.
