The Good Graphic Novels of 2003
Chris Allen's Breakdowns column this week has his list of the good graphic novels of the past year, and in the heady company of such critical darlings as Palomar and Blankets we find called-out the action and the adventure of Last of the Independents and Astronauts in Trouble.
I have to say I sure do genuinely appreciate that, since with all the (mis)perceived Sturm und Drang which is the daily struggle to Make Comics Better, even I sometimes forget that this massive media empire you see sprawled before you now sprouted from an idea I once had about man's return to the moon in this media-saturated age.
So, Chris Allen: we salute you.

Was on Jessica Abel's site the other day, and I saw a page of faqs designed as an interview and informing those interested that yes, she very much is available for interview, but these five or six questions have already been asked of her a million times, are kinda on the stiff side, and by the way, here are the answers if that's all you want. Cut and paste and arrange your own interview.
I thought that was brilliant, and an entertaining way to get more interesting and varied questions.
So, since the AiT/Planet Lar Fifth Anniversary is coming up (March 17th, 1999 was the in-store date of the first issue of Live From the Moon), I thought I'd arrange a similar page on the site for those who are just hearing about us and what we do now because of the ongoing anniversary media onslaught. If you've got a question you think I hear all the time, or, conversely, have never heard, read or have seen me answer, email it to:
larry@ait-planetlar.com
and it'll show up on the interview page in the next month or two.

Randy and Don have spoken: The Fourth Rail's Best of 2003 List
I gotta say, it's quite gratifying that Scurvy Dogs #1 and Demo #1 share both Randy and Don's pick for Best First Issue in their Best of 2003 column, today. The Scurv even doubles-up on Randy's list as Best Single Issue, as well. When reached for comment, writer-artist Ryan Yount said, "Hey, well, that's real nice. I mean... but... DAMN." Which I think sums it all up quite nicely.
