Go, Look: 1972 Stan Lee Profile



A really interesting article driven by Steve Lemberg's once-upon-a-time purchase of all rights to Marvel characters, with information gathered right before the train wreck that was Stan Lee's evening at Carnegie Hall. Dennis Wilson as Silver Surfer!

Re-Designed Superheroes



The OCLC Numbers

From Justin Colussy-Estes:

Here's a list of the Online Computer Library Center's (OCLC) top 1000 books held by its library-members. I assume this is particular to the English language (and it seems skewed American as well).

Looking at it from a comics perspective, I don't know what to make of this. The first comics entry I found incredibly depressing, both for what it is (Garfield) and it's high placement (15, just ahead of Tom Sawyer, Macbeth, and Gulliver's Travels). However, the next comics entries (Peanuts at 69, Calvin & Hobbes at 77, Doonesbury at 115 I think?) left me feeling better about the universe. No other comics entries until Dilbert at 399. I didn't have the patience to go through the list more than that. A quick "find" search tells me Maus (what I assume to be the most likely GN) is a no-show. A similar search for Naruto and Dragonball (the two most likely, by my random, 2am estimation, manga) and Asterix and Tintin (ditto, only European albums) shows nada.

If anyone has taken a closer look, I'd love to hear from them.
