Top Shelf gets a shipment of comics impounded for “Richie Bush” – a comic originally printed years ago in “World War 3 Illustrated“, which most USA readers could purchase in Borders bookshop.
Now it’s banned? The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is getting in on the act.

I’ve managed to have a few meetings with the local underground comics
guys and they are all pretty good. We drank beers in the local 200 year
old bar, swapped comics and traded strories about the comics scene in
australia and in scandinavia. I am selling my comics at the local comics
shop for 49 kroners each and trying to draw everyday. Norwegians like
most europeans LOVE comics so I am having a good time collecting weird
norwegian comics.
Photocopies are expensive here ( like everything else)
and the comics are nearly always printed in denmark or maybe sweden and
zines are uncommon. The standard is high here and there are varying
grades of popular type comics everywhere ..( all in norwegian)
Unfortunatly I am leaving soon and am reconciling not having done more
work largley because of the tourist factor the fatigue of a cold weather
climate (it was a mild minus 7 today) and the fact that I painfully
almost broke my arm on the ice (wear spikes!)
In addition to featuring Kirrily Schell as a cover artist, the Webcomics Review now has a huge list of recommendations for Best Webcomic of 2004, almost all free!
