Several comic book related stories

Eric Reynold's of Fantagraphics sent an email today with a list of good comic-book related things to read:

Jaime Hernandez is cover-featured in this week's issue of L.A. CITY BEAT newspaper. The feature includes a handsome new cover by Jaime, so those of you in So. Cal. might want to grab a hard copy.

Jaime's new book, LOCAS, is the lead review on Salon.com today and includes a lengthy interview with the man himself. The "ultramercial" you have to sit through to read the full article is brief today, so check it out.

Also, for the Chris Ware fans among us, Chris has new strips in both the current issue of ESQUIRE and the new issue of THE NEW YORKER. That's six all-new Ware pages, not to be missed.

Finally, today's PEANUTS strip made me laugh out loud.
