Reading Room ANYTHING GOES "Heroes"

Sometimes you come across a beautiful piece that speaks for itself...

...such as this never-reprinted Alex Toth piece from Fantagraphics' "benefit book" Anything Goes! #1 (1986)

Exactly what Anything Goes was can be discovered HERE.

Several such "benefit books" (and "benefit portfolios") were produced in the 1980s, including Eclipse's Destroyer Duck (to aid Steve Gerber in his Howard the Duck lawsuit against Marvel), and Last Gasp's Strip AIDS U.S.A. (benefiting the Shanti Project, an AIDS education and support organization!)

Reading Room ANYTHING GOES "Comic Book Convention"

Though I do a couple of East Coast and MidWest conventions each year...

...I've never done the nigh-legendary San Diego Comic-Con which begins today!

This never-reprinted tale from Fantagraphics' Anything Goes #6 (1987) by highly-underrated writer/artist George Metzger gives you a feel of how comic conventions used to be, before the onslaught of media promotion made them less "comic book" and more "movie/tv/video game" oriented!
It's an experience sadly lost to today's fans.
