And how did you spend your Independence Day? My friend Carolyn and I spent much of ours doing the final proofreading for Comic Books and Other Necessities of Life, the forthcoming paperback collection of 34 of my POV columns about comic book collecting and creation. Only nine of the 34 are available on this site and even they underwent some minor rewrites to take out some of the stupid comments and, probably, add stupider ones. The book had to go to press today (7/5) in order to be out in time for this year's Comic-Con International in San Diego. You need this in your collection.
I'll be hawking it at the San Diego con (in-between the thirteen panels I'm moderating) and it'll be available in all the usual places, including the website of its publisher, TwoMorrows Publishing. They don't have it on their order page yet but they will.
