Did Marvel close their Capital Distribution subsidiary? -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 14:09 6
- yeah they did and the Direct Market almost collapsed because of that. -- nm - Remlik Oct 20, 14:42
- They've been distreibuting through Diamond for 10 or more years, IIRC. -- nm - TWuG Oct 20, 14:10 4
  - Aye, they have. But I wonder what ever happened to Capital. -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 14:13 3
    - I think Capitol was absorbed by Diamond. and 50 yearss ago, Marvel was owned by a newsstand distributor [Curtis/Cadence] -- nm - peglegpete Oct 20, 14:21 2
      - That's gotta give Marvel some ownership stake in the company. -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 14:42 1
        
        if I remember correctly Diamond bought it outright. -- nm - Remlik Oct 20, 15:10
