It’s my birthday today and I got a surprise shout out from Tom Spurgeon’s Comics Reporter so let me return the favor and plug his indispensable comics news and link site!

Did you sell Grit, advertised for decades in comics? Here’s a unique juxtaposition of a 1958 comic book and a 1977 comic book on how to do so.

One of my favorite seventies artists was Warren’s Ramon Torrents, a man whose work seems unfortunately and undeservedly quite forgotten these days. See for yourself.

And finally, a birthday indulgence-another blatant plug for my online bookstore site where we have lots of cool comics and movie stuff for sale! We took a couple weeks off but will be posting more stuff this week!
