• CBG wants to know: Why comics? (2)

  Then we asked ourselves to answer the question in 140 characters. (Oh, come on. You know where we're going with this, right?)

• Unmasked: Jim Salicrup (CBG #1670, Oct. 2010) (3)

  CBG's monthly visit with a comics professional profiles Papercutz Editor in Chief Jim Salicrup in CBG #1670.

• CBGXtra.com — The next generation (50)

  Update the third: We want to thank everyone once again for their patience with the migration of our site from the old platform to the new one. Just as with any home or business remodel, the inevitable delays do strike from time to time, however, our forums are very close to being reinstated and are being tested for user-friendliness right now. We hope to have them up by next week.
