The Rumor Barrier one encounters before reading All the Rage, that is. Since, rather than unsourced gossip, it's an interview with creator Colleen Doran:
One of the incidents I discuss on camera [in the documentary Scenes From the Small Press: Colleen Doran] was particularly interesting because I am describing the behavior of what we would now call stalking. Well, when this happened in the 1980s, stalking was not against the law. A man could follow you around, call you at all hours, send you frightening letters, and generally make your life a living hell and there wasn't much you could do about it. Other than that, I had to settle matters out of court with these people. I tell you, it was incredibly frustrating.
Colleen Doran, best known for her series A Distant Soil, also illustrated the just-out-in-paperback Orbiter graphic novel, written by Warren Ellis.
She's also working with him on the upcoming series Stealth Tribes.
This is not a comics weblog, by the bye.
