OT: Comic book books by my friends

Gene Kannenberg's got his book "500 Essential Graphic Novels: The Ultimate Guide" out - he didn't write or pick all of the entries as the publisher had a strong voice in this - but I'm sure there's plenty to pick a fight with him about it it anyway.

Similarly, Paul Gravett's The Mammoth Book of Best Crime Comics appeared in my comics store today. There's a long interview with Paul on the Forbidden Planet blog.

Buy them both - you won't be sorry.

OT: New book of interest

My friend Comics-Dr. Gene Kannenberg's new book with Tim Pilcher is out - Erotic Comics: A Graphic History, vol. 1. I bought my copy today at Big Planet Comics, but you can get one by ordering through Gene's website which has more details on it. It's a lovely book, although not for everyone, and I contributed one of the McGill postcards; that was $1 well spent!
