Call for Mini Comics
Michael Dowers, editor of Newave is calling for mini comic submissions for a new two-volume set of hardbound books to be published by Fantagraphics. This series will cover mini comics from the dawn of time (early 70's) to the present. Since Newave (1980’s) has already been covered, the main focus will be on the 1990's to the present although earlier minis will be covered too.

Tim Corrigan's Comics and Stories #61

Tim Corrigan's Comics and Stories #61 is out. I like Corrigan's recent editorial direction to feature part of a humor and part of an adventure story in each issue. This time it's part three of a Mightyguy adventure (5 pages) and a Tranquilzer yarn (6 pages). TCC&S #61 is $1.50 or $15 as part of a 12-issue subscription from Mightyguy Comics.

Gerry Giovinco writes about free content in Comiconomy The Economics of Comics at the CO2 Comics blog.

A nice revamp to the Sparkplug Books Shop this week. Check it out.
