CR Week In Review



The top comics-related news stories from May 1 to May 7, 2010:

1. A German TV show canceled an appearance by Kurt Westergaard out of fear of... well, out of fear.

2. CCI raises extra exhibitor badge prices in part to curtail abuse of that badge class.

3. North American BD specialist Fichtre closes shop, perhaps for good.

Winner Of The Week
The late Leo O'Mealia (1884-1960), cartoonist with actual superpowers.

Loser Of The Week
Herge. It's fairly typical for great artists to have a distressing element on their record somewhere, but having that thing be the focus of an ongoing news story is certainly atypical.

Quote Of The Week
"I can't wait to get back to earning money and getting to work." -- Gene Colan
