Crossgen: Chapter 11

Newsarama has a breakdown of Crossgen's $3 million dollar bankruptcy filing - there's a link to a PDF copy of the actual filing document, and a list of the 20 largest creditors and the monies owed to them - the list includes $1.5 million owed to CrossGen's printer, and these 2 entries on the bottom of the list:

Luke Ross (creator) - $16,500.00
Fabrizio Fiorentino (creator) - $16,450.00

I've been half-heartedly following CrossGen's collapse over the past couple of months (year?), through the various talent complaints & various layoffs & cancellations & people leaving for other companies, but seeing these 2 guys on a list with other companies getting gypped out of what amounts to about half my yearly salary made my gut sink a bit more than I expected.

Here's an interview with CrossGen CEO Mark Alessi back when the company was doing a little better.
