Gilbert Hernandez Gets Some Love (Finally):
With the release of Lovers and Haters it's good to see some press for the most famous unsung cartoonist around.

Two of the most recent Richard Corben Library volumes. I absolutely loved the all black and white Rowlf volume, Corben's talent really comes out when not hidden behind that luscious coloring of his.
