The top comics-related news stories from August 2 to August 8, 2008:

1. The Sine/Sarkozy row gets weirder.

2. Attempt to get Ron Perelman to pay back some of the money he cost folks in pumping and pimping Marvel in the early to mid-1990s for cash ends up with a 1/5 of what was sought settlement.

3. Jack Kamen, one of the great remaining artists from the mid-Century EC stable of talent, passes away.

Winners Of The Week
Your 2008 Doug Wright Award winners.

Losers Of The Week
Anyone that was waiting for more money in that Perelman lawsuit settlement. A big chunk of the 1/5 settlement goes to administrative costs and lawyer fees, even.
