...fans allows for generous spillage. Of the publishers I spoke with, all were having successful sales. Several were debuting new books at the con. Drawn and Quarterly premiered the new "Acme Novelty Datebook," a hardcover collection of pages from Chris Ware's sketchbook ($39.95). Ware is one of the medium's outright geniuses and the chance to peer into his unpolished doodles should not be missed.

...question Abbasi, he stayed mum for over an hour - though they couldn't say whether he was stonewalling or mentally disturbed. A mental health facility opened in March and now houses about 20 captives judged to be suicide risks, while some 125 other prisoners live in a medium-security compound, in dorm-like buildings of 10 men each. American officials don't worry much about harsh conditions for terror suspects. They point out that the global threat posed by al-Qaeda is novel and particularly dangerous. They're confident lengthy detention without the chance to pass messages through lawyers...
