a brief cheap tangential book
The essay book Black Images in the Comics is currently steeply discounted. I’m going to avoid saying the price, because it’s been going slowly upward. Franklin is on the cover (which differs from the cover showing at Amazon, featuring eight characters rather than 9), but there’s only a short page …
A Charlie Brown Christmas trading card kinda
Last year, Topps put out a set of Americana trading cards, cataloging particularly American moments. Card 91 pays tribute to A Charlie Brown Christmas. Well, sort of. The card has no image from the Christmas special; I suspect it was less a creative preference and more a rights issue (while …
Stickers and comics snickers
Coming in July is Peanuts Stickers and Labels, a book of… well, I think the title doesn’t obscure the content particularly.
