CR Week In Review



The top comics-related news stories from February 3 to February 9, 2007:

1. A French prosecutor proposes dismissal of a case against the satirical magazine Charlie-Hebdo brought by Muslim groups who felt that their use of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammed should be punishable under that country's laws.

2. Details released on the Marshall (MO) library material selection plan, brought about by complaints last year of the graphic novels Blankets (Craig Thompson) and Fun Home (Alison Bechdel).

3. Not enough room at the Comic-Con International inn, again, but somehow this time felt worse.
