Your First Comic, Revisited:
I got some good feedback to the question I posed last time-- many thanks to SpookieG, Anonymous and Loren --- and I want to encourage everyone else to jump in and add your story by clicking on the "comments" link at the end of my last blog entry. Tell us about your first comic--- and the one that got you hooked!

One More Thing:
New Releases' Day this Wednesday May 3 is going to be HUGE!

DC's massive hit series INFINITE CRISIS comes to a scorching conclusion while Marvel's biggest story of the year, CIVIL WAR gets started with its #1 issue! We'll also have the latest volume in Fantagraphics' COMPLETE PEANUTS series, among so many other excellent reads this week.

Be seeing you in FLYING COLORS!
