ExhibitWatch: An exhibition of the French comics adaptation of Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck, is on display at the National Steinbeck Center in California.
CollectionWatch: Fire killed Gary Dahlberg, didn't touch his million dollar comic collection.
Three of the books already sold for a total of $80,000, including $47,800 for a 1963 copy of the first "Amazing Spiderman" issue. Heritage expects to auction about 450 books on May 5 in New York. The rest — what Jaster said is "the best of a silver age collection we've ever handled" — will be sold over the next year.
Dahlberg's 1963, No. 2 "Spiderman" issue is probably one of the "finest known examples" of five known copies, Jaster said. "This book could be worth well over $100,000."

Jim Shooter: Groundhog Day in the Land of the Apocryphiars | The Comics Journal
Shooter's two blog entries purporting to accurately describe Kirby's dispute with Marvel are such falsified claptrap that they reminded me of Mary McCarthy's infamous quip about Lillian Hellman's writing, made in an eerily similar context — that every word is a lie, including "and" and "the." There are minor errors, but I'll stick to the major, more partisan, and morally tendentious misstatements of fact. Otherwise, we'd be here all day.

Day Two of Fast Five beat Thor by 38% — $2.02 million U.S. dollars vs $1.5 million U.S. dollars — even though both films are playing in the same number of theaters (220), Fast Five is only 2D so can't command the higher 3D ticket prices, and Thor's lead Chris Hemsworth is Australian.
