Panel Mania: Even The Giants

Compiled by Ada Price | 04/19/2011 @ 12:00AM

by Heidi MacDonald | 04/12/2011 @ 04:00PM

Life in Comics: The Lottery

by Jennifer de Guzman | 04/12/2011 @ 04:00PM

Last month, I think I saw the comics community at its ugliest. Gossip columnist Rich Johnston exposed a plagiarist and pretender named Rob Granito, who for years has been copying other artists’ work and selling it as his own, as well as claiming false, easily disproved credits. That was not the ugly part. In fact, it was a public service. Artists deserve to have the integrity of their work, and consumers deserve to get what they think they’re paying for. What was ugly were some of the responses to the exposé.

Here are a few photographs of the artists, publishers and fans that attended MoCCA 2011. Most photos are by Jody Culkin unless noted otherwise.

Comics, Comics: Treasury House or Tombstone?

By Jeet Heer | 03/29/2011 @ 12:00PM

If, by chance, you’re planning on dressing up as Moses for a costume party, you might want to pick up two hefty new tomes which have similar titles and could easily double as stone tablets: Jerry Robinson’s The Comics: An Illustrated History of Comic Strip Art 1895-2010 (Dark Horse Books) and Brian Walker’s The Comics: The Complete Collection (Abrams). Heavier than the bricks that Ignatz hurled at Krazy Kat and only slightly less deadly in potential squashing power than the anvils that the Coyote tried to drop on the Road Runner, these books are big not only in size but also in scope.
