How To Draw Campaign Literature The Marvel Way

Via Virginia Virtucon, Comic Book Resources’ Lying In The Gutters has some interesting information on the Webb flyer:

Jim Webb’s Virginia campaign ad for the US Senate

“How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way” by John Buscema.

I think drawing “The Marvel Way” isn’t supposed to be tracing copyrighted work but to each their own. Isn’t tracing akin to outsourcing the actual work of doing the drawing? Hmmm…

Death Of A Comic Shop

I noticed a couple weeks ago that Marie’s Books and Things in Fredericksburg has closed up and something else is in its place. Marie’s was a comic shop that also carried other sorts of junk and was always way too cluttered but for the longest time was the only game in town for comic books. I frequented the place enough that I even got into a fight there. But, alas, it’s now gone. Not sure when it exactly closed up shop, but, honestly, I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did.
