By 2014 I had worked my way up the ladder and found myself distributed by Diamond; the dream became a reality. The process of working with Diamond isn’t as daunting as others would have you believe; everyone I worked with was very nice and helpful. There were a few glitches, like one time they shipped an issue three a week before issue two, but I didn’t mind; I was in the big league. However, as time went on, sales began to dip, the industry was changing, and I didn’t notice. By the end of 2017, Cosmic Times came to a grinding halt.
