Here’s an interesting fact: Marvel and DC—the two biggest publishers of comic books—jointly own a trademark on the term “Super Hero” (and its variations). Huh? I picked this up from Newsarama, via Boing Boing. That seems to me to be just a little bit ludicrous, but it suddenly seems clear why Alan Moore’s comic books… Continue reading Comic Trademarks

Come on—who wouldn’t want The Complete Far Side for Christmas?

The Man Without Fear
Went and saw “Daredevil” Friday night. I liked it quite a lot, it’s worth seeing if you’re into the action/comic-book-adaption movie thing. I was especially interested as Daredevil, the comic book, has been the one comic I’ve consistently collected for, oh, the past 15 years or more. I’ll try not to spoil any critical parts… Continue reading The Man Without Fear
