Missed It: Hard News At The ComicsPRO Meeting A Weekend Ago

I missed a couple of hard news items from the ComicsPro annual meeting held in Texas not the weekend just past but the weekend before that. My apologies. Anaheim-area retailer Thomas Gaul was named to the group's board of directors, replacing one of the founders, Brian Hibbs. This is good news because I'm not familiar with Mr. Gaul or his store at all, and as much new blood can circulate through that group's board means not just new blood with that retailing group but another potential national spokesperson for comics retail more generally. Also, as I pretty much expected Bob Wayne (living) and Phil Seuling (deceased) were the winners of the group's appreciation awards this year. That was a pretty good list of nominees in both categories generally, but Wayne's been a huge friend to comics retail in his post at DC Comics and there's no bigger figure in the history of funnybook sales than Seuling.

Alex Cox has a piece up about the show here; he attended on behalf of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
