I've only written one letter to the editor in my life and it was published by Gemstone about 10 years ago. I'd have to look up the issue.
If I remember correctly, even 10 years ago there weren't a lot of letters being submitted. If that's true, I would assume the number has decreased in most cases.
While email has made it easier to write a letter, blogs and forums have provided fans with instant two-way communication. Publications just cannot compete with that kind of instant access and connection. However, I'd like to believe that there's still a place for letter columns in comics. But I do not know the details behind whether any such plan makes sense.

I went to the comic shop today to pick up my monthly Disney pullouts and my son picked out his first Disney comic - US # 3 (407). Even though I already own the issue, I just had to pick up a copy for him. He's three so this is only the third comic he's ever picked out (previous selections were Scooby Doo and Angry Birds).
I'm hoping this is the first of many. I have to admit, it brought quite a smile to my face. He can't wait to read it with me and the feeling is mutual.
It reminded me of my childhood and how excited I would be to go to the "Candy Store" with my mom or dad. They always let me pick up a comic. I still remember the first Disney story I read on my own - The Tourist Trap by Volker Reiche with art by Freddy Milton.
And now my hobby has come full circle.
