An unique combination of offline and online distribution has led to Dare's debut title, The Hunter, rapidly becoming one of the most widely read comics in the world. The first issue has topped 57,000 readers online and is on track to grow its readership to over 200,000 by the end of the year.
Dare Comics founder, Adam Hamdy, said, "The Internet is changing traditional business models and presents tremendous scope for innovation. Offering this unique advert is a great way to celebrate this change. It seemed natural to use eBay, one of the Internet's original innovators, to handle the sale."
Adam Hamdy said, "Our per-issue readership now rivals the big two comic publishers and continues to grow rapidly. The Internet offers almost unlimited potential and is a great way to engage readers who may never have picked up a comic book before."
The winning bidder will be buying a full-page, fully interactive advertisement in all of Dare Comics' current and future publications. The advertisement can be altered up to twelve times a year.
Adam Hamdy said, "The perpetual advert represents a unique and cost-effective opportunity for any company that is keen to engage with a youth audience."
Dare Comics will feature the perpetual advertisement in all its online publications.
Adam Hamdy said, "Digital technology means that this advertisement could run for thousands of years."
