as someone who has been trying to get her comic published her whole adult life i can tell you this much if mj had wanted this published he could have done it easily by himself but he a either didnt want or have time to pencil it himself comics take a very long time to draw and he likely made the penciler redraw it many times i think this project was more of a story mj felt like writing the penciler said hey id like to draw it and off it went he was likely doing his friend a solld because i am certain one of the bigger publishing houses would have been ALL OVER THIS comics as a medium are trying very hard to get mainstream press in america and this with michael alone wouldnt need to be at some small publisher because the name alone would give a smaller company like say darkhorse a huge boost in the mainstrem press
except for the strange paradox that Michael had the biggest fanbase on earth, but was a pariah to the media's eyes, and for some reason, though being a pariah was unwarranted, these companies were slaves to what the mainstream press said. i don't know that their mentality would allow them to see how much money they could make off of Michael's name...till now, because they are hypnotized by the 'iconic death' stuff. in contrast, another celebrity could have been a muderer, and had no fans, but if the media said that celebrity was god, then a lot of these companies would have gone for it, and then went bankrupt, while that celebrity was alive.
