I haven't seen the issue, but a Comics Buyer's Guide is apparently now reaching subscribers with word of my abdication. This I know from the flurry of e-mails that is suddenly descending on me, asking why I've stopped doing my column. I dunno what they said in CBG but the truth is that I was having some business-type contractual problems with the folks there and they kinda killed my enthusiasm for continuing there. I miss writing that kind of material and one of these days, I'll find a new venue for it. In the meantime, I'll be updating this site with short items, and I thank you all for your notes.
