CR Week In Review



The top comics-related news stories from January 5 to January 11, 2008:

1. Amnesty International takes up the cause of jailed Bangladeshi cartoonist Mohammed Arifur Rahman.

2. Black cartoonists announce a February 10 action to draw attention to the fact that their strips are perceived and purchased as black strips rather than as strips that happen to be by black cartoonists.

3. At least three comic strips debut in the important early January publication slot.

Winner Of The Week
Signe Wilkinson, author of the most celebrated of the new year's launches.

Loser Of The Week
Anyone who thinks that comic book back issues are going to move by themselves, at any price selected for them, the way they have for the previous 35 years.

Quote Of The Week
I am easily the least-intellectual of the reviewers on Savage Critics now; Jog and Doug [Wolk] and Jeff and everyone else write these smart, witty, essays, and then I come along and go "Hey, that's Spider-Man's radioactive spunk!" -- Graeme McMillan

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