Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* this comic in support of new single-year program at SAW is very charming. The notion of making art as a therapeutic reaction to a crummy world holds a lot of power.

* I'm less angry about the collectibles aspect of comics as I get older, partly because I'm less angry about everything and partly because I realize that what everyone values about comics isn't going to be what I value. Derf makes the strongest point possible here, though. A comic after 1960 that sold 325,000 copies into a market isn't rare. The condition of it is rare. It's a made-up thing, all the way through, and in a world short of capital that makes a lot of people suffer for it, it's heartbreaking for money to be dumped into a hole someone dug just for the hell of it.

* finally, a by request extra: Ron Regé Jr. is having a sale.
