CR Week In Review



The top comics-related news stories from June 2 to June 8, 2007:

1. A shipment of comics seized on its way into Canada, throwing a spotlight on how such a seizure may represent costs and trouble far beyond the desire of any proprietor to fight against them.

2. Another international book fair, another incident of improper material offered there.

3. The appropriate Tintin rights holder tells editorial cartoonist Bill Leak they have no objection to his use of the Tintin image as a parody directed at politician Kevin Rudd, but they don't want him selling prints with that imagery on it.

Winner Of The Week
Berke Breathed, who score a Sunday Funnies spotlight at Salon with his feature Opus.

Loser Of The Week
Algerian cartooning.

Quote Of The Week
"I'd just prefer not to have my work lumped into a discussion about Mary Jane's ass, honestly." -- Ed Brubaker.

this week's imagery comes from pioneering comic book house Centaur Publications
