This May Fantagraphics is releasing OTHER STUFF, a compilation of various strips by Peter Bagge and his friends like Dan Clowes, Gilbert Hernandez, and R. Crumb. The stories in the book are mostly outside the famed Buddy Bradley saga, but no less hilarious.

The comics world was saddened last night when this statement was released. It's hard to overstate Kim Thompson's impact on the modern comics world—as the publisher of groundbreaking works Love & Rockets and Eightball, the editor of eveyrthing from Acme Novelty Library to Usagi Yojimbo and one of the finest translators in comics. He's best known for championing European comics and introducing them to a wider audience in the US.

Instant want: Fantagraphics will be collecting Tony Millionaire's Sock Monkey stories in a treasury edition. The books originally came out from Dark Horse but are joining Millionaie's Maakie's collections at FBI.

Daunted by the idea of jumping into the immense canon of Los Bros Hernandez? You're missing a world of wrestling, gangs, whispering trees and unexpected heartache. If you're confused about how to read the books, Jeffrey O. Gustafson of Jim Hanley's universe has just posted a Definitive Guide to Comics' Supreme Masterpiece that explains which volume comes where.
