Comic-con and the Business of Popular Culture by Rob Salkowitz

I love Comic-con, so I thought I’d give this a whirl.

Salkowitz is a long-time attendee, and knows his way around the con…this is a good overview of the whole wild ride that is Comic-con. He knows artists and dealers and writers, rather than being hoi polloi like me, but he had some interesting things to say about the phenomenon, as well as the industry, all the popular culture facets of the genres that are connected to the comics industry.

And he mentioned two graphic novels for me to try- Frank Miller’s newest, Holy Terror, and a long-running series that I’d never heard of called Supernatural Law. So I’ve ordered each from my library, and am excited about both.
