This isn’t Chemistry Set related, but we would be remiss if we didn’t mark the passing of one of the true legends of the comic book industry and truly, a revolutionary in the art of making comics. Will Elder was one of the artists who flourished in the ’50’s under Harvey Kurtzman at EC Comics. If at this point in your life, you haven’t read an EC Comic reprint, you really are missing out on innovation…innovations we take for granted now. I never met him, but we will all miss him. I’ll post any further details here as they come in. But for now, we’ll miss you, Will.

No, it’s not a given. Over at Newsarama, I talk to four retailers about how to improve your chances. Rory Root of Comic Relief (Berkeley, CA), Alex Cox of Rocketship, Andrew Neal of Chapel Hill Comics (Chapel Hill, NC), and Ben Trujillo of Star Clipper (St. Louis, MO) gave some great pointers.
Remember, the customer is always right! (Note: That would be retailers. :) )
Anyhoo, there’s some great advice there if you’re a creator or self-publisher. Check it out.

Welcome to the 66th installment of The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo!
Well, no surprise here, but the Eagle Award went to Alan Moore’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier. There’s no shame in losing to Alan Moore! Just to be mentioned alongside Moore is a dream come true. So a giant-sized thank you to our many friends and supporters for voting for us!
Gods willing I’ll be at the Bristol Con next year to receive my first Eagle Award.
What? I can dream–right?
Until next week,
Dwight L. MacPherson (with Thomas Boatwright and Thomas Mauer)
