Happy Birthday, Comics Reporter

Congratulations to the Comics Reporter upon the occasion of its fifth birthday.

The obsessively updated, newsy site is a must stop; full of comics news and opinion for thousands of pros and fans.

The man behind it, comics omnivore Tom Spurgeon, is a constant source of information and opinion for me, personally and professionally. Thank you, Tom, for reporting on comic books, graphic novels, syndicated comics, webcomics, censorship, creators' rights, manga, industry sales, cartoon history, industry awards, cool creator Web sites and all sorts of things that I never knew about.

Many happy returns, Comics Reporter and Tom Spurgeon! And thank you again.
