CR Week In Review
Top Stories
The week's most important comics-related news stories, June 4 to June 10, 2005:
1. Craig Thompson
will do his next book Habibi with Pantheon, after doing first three major books with Top Shelf Productions.
2. Reed Exhibitions announces New York Comic-Con for February 2006,
the same weekend as Orlando's Megacon and pressing at other major conventions in both directions.
3. Laurence Harle, pioneering female writer during the great rise of French comics for adults in the 1970s,
passes away at age 56.
Winner of the Week
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, who with their
move and preparations made in advance of that move now have the ability to assume their place among important Free Speech organizations and cement their position as a vital player for as long as there are comics.
Loser of the Week
I would think probably Orlando's
MegaCon.
