I’ve just completed my first big comic book convention, Heroes Con, at which I was promoting my webcomic, Nathan Sorry, and selling its accompanying mini-comics. As I slowly unwind from the 3-day long experience I thought I’d unspool some thoughts here in order to process the whole experience for myself. It was a great show, a [...]
This weekend, June 4-6, I’ll be appearing for the first time as a creator at HeroesCon, the big comic book convention run by my local comic shop, Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find. After attending for years as a fan, I’m really excited and honored to now be a guest. I’ll have a table (439) in [...]
Recently, I was honored to be invited by the folks at Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find to appear at this month’s Charlotte Mini-Con as a creator. This will be my second convention ever and the second in the span of one month. I’ll be printing up new copies of the first “issue” of my graphic [...]

So, my first appearance at a comics convention went pretty well. I only sold two copies of Nathan Sorry but more importantly I had a blast hanging out with my Sketch Charlotte buddies, Tom Davidson and Eraklis Petmezas. And I got a taste of what it’s like sitting on the other side of the table [...]
This coming Sunday, December 27th, I’ll be making my first ever appearance at a comic convention as a creator. The Charlotte Comic-Con is a small local convention of which I’ve never attended but have heard good things about. I’ll be there with Tom Davidson and Eraklis Petmezas of the Sketch Charlotte crew and I’ll be [...]
Recently I ran my first ever ad campaign on the ad network Project Wonderful for my online graphic novel, Nathan Sorry. It was fairly successful, I guess. Didn’t bring in a ton of visitors or increase my regular traffic significantly but I know it brought in at least a couple of new readers and that’s [...]
I’m trying a fun little experiment as a way of promoting this comic as well as adding a little more to the story outside of the comic itself. I created a new Twitter account: @NathanSorry which will consist of Nathan’s own thoughts during the lost two month period from 9/11 to the time he shows [...]
The coolest thing happened yesterday. Warren Ellis, acclaimed writer of such comics as The Authority and Planetary, mentioned my comic, Nathan Sorry, on his blog:
Rich Barrett is 16pp into a creepy online graphic novel called NATHAN SORRY that looks like it’s going to turn into something fun.
You don’t get better press than that.
This all actually [...]
Two pages in one month. I think that’s officially a record for me. Anyway, a new page is up, continuing the hotel bar scene which will continue for another couple of pages giving us some important information about Pryor’s grand plan, the secret of “James Goode” and what a pathetic sap poor Nathan can be [...]
