DC's Track Record




Well, Devil Car, after having come out at only about its 10th issue, amazingly jumped up to a slot within the TOP TEN (I just don’t remember anymore to what number exactly) GASI-ATLAS bestselling comics novels. And as if that wasn’t phenomenal enough, it very shortly asserted full dominance over the lot by yet again shooting up, finally, to the Number One Spot! Once it got there, Devil Car steadfastly held hits ground, refusing to budge and remaining glued to that coveted position for an incredibly long time. It ultimately had to give way to some other novel of course, but it never dropped below the top 15 mark. In fact it was still somewhere high up that rating ladder, when I decided to already end it on its 150th issue. I didn’t have to end it yet. Since the advent of Devil Car in Holiday Komiks, the records showed a significant rise in the magazine’s circulation, so Ollie and Mrs. Paguio wanted me to go on writing it. But I felt that the novel had reached its zenith after having already run for more than three years. Just between you and me though, I just plain got tired of racking my brains out creating Devil Car scenes that would outshine the last. It was time to move on to other novels, other challenges…
