...Japanese WWII pilot and two American army nurses. The second remarkable moment took place courtesy of Frank Miller, author of "The Dark Knight Strikes Again," who has in recent years become far more interesting as a comics gadfly than a creator. Prior to handing out the "Best Graphic Album - New" award (which rightfully went to Lynda Barry's "One! Hundred! Demons!") Miller lamented the rising cost of a single comicbook. Noting they have reached upwards of $3 a piece, "It's just not working," Miller said, "Our future is not in pamphlets." All but pronouncing the death of the comic...
Danziger denied the crime from Day One, but Ochoa's graphic confession helped convict them both. Partly because neither Danziger nor Ochoa had the violent criminal history typically needed to convince jurors of future dangerousness, Earle's office didn't seek the death penalty; the two were sentenced to life in prison. But in 1996 another Texas inmate, Achim Marino, started writing letters--to police, to the Austin American-Statesman, to Governor George W.

The film raked in $25 million in Japan alone?a formidable haul, given the depressed state...
...this year at least, attendees totally scored. Several publishers had advance copies of books that amounted to a summer comix reading list. The biggest draw at the festival must have been Craig Thompson?s ?Blankets? (Top Shelf; $29.95). A giant, 500+ page graphic novel about growing up in Wisconsin, it has generated a tremendous amount of buzz, causing swarms of people to hover around the artist and his mountain of books. A deep and powerful work, it tells the story of a teenager growing up in an austere, fundamentalist Christian family. His struggles with faith and self-identity...
