The La Jolla Light has a piece about Wildstorm Productions, a comic book company secreted in beautiful La Jolla. Wildstorm is a boutique brand of DC Comics.

Lee founded Wildstorm Comics in 1992 in a small workshop in La Mesa with one employee. A former illustrator at Marvel Comics, Lee knew the industry. Comics were his life. He dreamed of owning a studio where he could work with other artists to create a new generation of comic books, material that would attract a niche market of which the larger companies were missing out.

It sounds like a fun work environment. The article covers a lot of ground. Worth a gander.
