"Brian K Vaughan has called the digital distribution revolution &amp;quot;maybe the best thing that&amp;#039;s ever happened to mainstream comics&amp;quot;. The Saga and Private Eye writer compared the online availability of comics to traditional newsstand distribution.  &amp;quot;I think the digital distribution revolution is maybe the best thing that&amp;#039;s ever happened to mainstream comics,&amp;quot; he told Comic Book Resources. &amp;quot;I really miss the days when you could find a comics spinner rack in every drug store, but now anyone who owns a mobile device can have their own personal spinner rack, and it&amp;#039;s always stocked with every issue imaginable. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know if creators at other companies are privy to exactly how many digital copies their books are selling these days, but the statements [Saga artist Fiona Staples] and I get from Image are pretty staggering. &amp;quot;I realise that&amp;#039;s not true for every book, but the day when many titles start selling more digital copies than print copies is not years away, it&amp;#039;s months away.&amp;quot;  Vaughan went on to point out that digital sales seem to be boosting rather than cannibalising print sales, which have been growing steadily over recent years. His new series The Private Eye - which was created with artist Marcos Martin - is available through an experimental DRM-free, name-your-own-price model. Vaughan has said that the title has &amp;quot;succeeded way beyond [his] wildest expectations&amp;quot;. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
