  • Plant (born 1952) was a comics and illustrated books enthusiast who founded Bud Plant, Inc. in 1970 as a mail order company specializing in the undergrounds. (He was listed as a member of the Merry Marvel Marching Society in Fantastic Four #40.) In 1971, Plant and five friends spent the summer dealing comics at conventions in Houston, New York, Dallas, San Diego, Miami, Boston, and Washington, D.C. Plant had met direct market pioneer Phil Seuling on the convention circuit; in late 1973 Seuling called Plant to inform him that he had just cut a deal to ship Archie, DC, Marvel, and Warren comic books from a new distribution center in Sparta. Seuling offered the West Coast region to Plant, but Plant turned him down, preferring then to concentrate on the proliferating underground market.
