Just for yuks, I’ve been looking at the major online comic strip services. As far as I can tell, there are basically three big ones. All include daily comics by email.

WonderCon
Well, I missed the Christian Bale appearance at WonderCon, but I did make it to the Joss Whedon panel, among others. Lots of good stuff, even if it was raining most of the time. And I did catch some of the Chinese New Year parade.
Comic Book Guy
Comic Book Guy’s real name was revealed during last night’s post-football Simpson’s episode: Jeff Albertson. Not terribly exciting, but it sounds about right. Also, there was a brief shot of CBG’s web site, www.dorks-gone-wild.com, which is, of course, now a real web site, presumably created by the Simpson’s folks.
WonderCon
Only about three weeks left until WonderCon!
Ben Samuels’ Classic Golden Age Comic Book Cover Gallery
Lots of fun Golden Age comic book covers, including this classic EC cover, plus this disturbing thing. And a nice Batman WW2 cover.
WIll Eisner
Will Eisner passed away a couple of days ago. He was one of my favorite comics creators. I loved all his stuff, from his old Spirit comics from the 40’s, through to his more recent graphic novels.
The Comic Book Periodic Table of the Elements
Spider-Man SpinBrushes
Check out this eBay page. Everybody needs a Spider-Man toothbrush, autographed by Stan Lee, right? (The text on this page was apparently written by my brother Mike, by the way.)
Big Apple Con
Big Apple Con this weekend!
Avengers Assemble!
One of the many interesting facts in the Marvel Super Heroes’ Guide to New York City: The Frick Museum is Avengers Mansion!
