I think the comic store sales went through Diamond Distribution, which I believe Radio Comix was using back then. I generally got paid around $300 for each edition (Spotlight #1, #2 and #3), and received a small box of comp copies to sell at conventions. I think I still have copies of issue 3 and several copies of the original Ups & Downs (I stopped attending cons not too long after that one came out).
I stopped printing up hard copies of my work several years ago and no longer sell it. Second Ed (www.second-ed.com) has a few copies of some folios left, as well as a few prints, but that's about it. All my older work will eventually be released in digital format on CD. All new work is still on hold.
The Skunkworks collection going through AVP will just collect all the comics featuring the trio and the Ups & Downs series (plus additional pages and unpublished chapters). Prior to "The End", the last Skunkworks comic was "Student Drivers", which came out in 2001, I think.
