Re: Adapting Your Spec to a Graphic Novel
What I meant by "indie-indie" is truly independent, like an independent film but with a graphic novel. So while DC and Marvel could be considered NOT indie and some people would consider Fantagraphics or Image indie, I would consider
CVOLANTE'S COMICS (or whatever) to be indie.
You and the artist team up, make the comic, publish it on Comixology and voila- you're done.

I appreciate your comments, Willoughby, and I've had some experiences lately that make me think just getting the work out there indie and skipping the middle man could be the best way, especially if you get the idea it's not going to sell a gazillion copies. (A teacher packet I sold to a teacher publishing company makes me TONS more money when I sell it myself than when I sell it via their catalogue and only get a small percentage... More money in my pocket indie.)
