really interesting article... a nice little exposure of the competitive side in every person on the comics buisness, and the comradery. this urge do out do one another has resulted in many of the greatest comics ever written. right from the early hard boiled comics to the final crisis and secret invasion battle today.

(sorry if this has been posted before - i did do a few searches including "bag" before posting)

Funny stuff, iancontinence! Archie Goodwin was a great force in comics, and his Star Wars work was one of the things that brought me in as a reader in the first place.

For those of us with failing eyesight, here's what the message on the bag says:

DEAR DAVE --

OKAY, I CAN LIVE WITH A GREAT SERIES LIKE WATCHMEN BEING DONE AT A RIVAL COMPANY. BUT DO YOU AND ALAN HAVE TO RUB IT IN BY MAKING MY LOCAL SUPERMARKET GIVE OUT THESE GROCERY BAGS THANKING ALL YOUR READERS NOW THAT THE DAMNED THING'S FINALLY DONE?!

BEST,
ARCHIE
