Another "Choice" Article

Just a quick update – my latest article (for Graphic Novels/Comics, anyway) got an Editor's Choice award! It's about Peter Bagge's Neat Stuff.

This is the fourth such award I've received in this section, the others being, in reverse chronological order:

Nintendo Power's Mario, Zelda, and Metroid Manga

Six Classics of Comic Book Theory

Comic Book Copyrights in Gaiman v. McFarlane

So check 'em out, if you haven't already. Of course, that's not to say that the rest of the articles in Graphic Novels/Comics are bad – far from it! The contributing writers section also has fourteen Editor's Choice articles at last count. Just scroll down and look for the green checkmarks.

Also: Part One of a new series on Katsuhiro Otomo's classic manga Akira should be up in the next few days, followed by more on Peter Bagge's Hate. Stay tuned!

Update (July 7): The Visual Parts of a Comic Book Page just snagged an Editor's Choice (that makes six, including the non-comics-related Introduction to Grettis saga Ásmundarsonar. But don't worry, comics fans, Viking sagas have plenty of sex and violence – just like your favorite superhero rags – so you can go click on that one too!).
