If You Must Read A PR-Driven Story...

... I liked this one on R. Crumb's Genesis book by Frank Browning at NPR, even though it seems awfully silly for him to suggest that no comics have print runs of 100K when the next Asterix will have a three million print run in the French-language version alone. What I liked about it was the quote work: pretty good ones from Crumb and peer Gilbert Shelton, and a very good one from Jean-Luc Fromental that describes the way I think most people will see Genesis as a valuable work.

As far as it being news that Robert Crumb is driving feature articles with his first major book, I'm not sure how that's a story at all!
