Quotes of the day: Paging Dr. Bunko edition
“Comics are a low-cost laboratory, with instant feedback, for what’s happening in pop culture.”
— Milton Griepp, publisher of ICv2 (via USA Today)
“Today critical consensus is that anyone who categorically does not read comics will miss great literature.”
— Jeremy Smith, writing in The Chicago TribuneÂ
O K, I admit I have missed the boat. Haven’t read a comic since they sold them on spinning racks at the local drugstore (when there WERE local drugstores).
But I am willing to try to catch up, so Dan how about a beginners reading list to those of us who may be willing to give it an honest attempt, you can exclude Johnny Bunko have that on a gift list.
That’s a good idea, Richard. I’ll try to put up a list of 5 reading recommendations in the next week or so.
Iain –
Yep. Though we didn’t make it to ComicCon, we’ll be doing other similar events in the future. What’s curious, though, is that our audience is business book readers getting turned on the manga — rather than comics fans discovering business books.
Cheers,
Dan
