Trial Watch

I'm going to try to get other things done today but I'll have about half-an-eye on the trial in New York where Opening Statements are about to commence. If you're wondering what's likely to happen, take twenty minutes and watch Michael Popok explain it all for you.

Apparently, the prosecution is calling as their first witness, David Pecker, who was formerly a head honcho at the National Enquirer. I was intrigued this morning to read this post on Facebook from my pal Paul Levitz…

Here's your little known comics connection to the events of day: some four decades ago, the young finance executive of CBS' Fawcett magazine group negotiating the sale of Shazam and the other Fawcett comics properties to DC was…David Pecker.

Let's see if we can find any other connections between this trial and the comic book industry. I'll bet there's at least one more.
