This weekend, Nov. 8, the great Galerie Lambiek turns 40. As far as I know, Lambiek is the oldest comic book shop in the world, and it's also quite probably the very best. I've had the good fortune of visiting twice and it's a true oasis of cartooning, almost like something out of a dream. Happy birthday, Lambiek, and here's to 40 more!

A very late, incomplete SPX report
A few weeks ago, I attended SPX for the first time in a few years.

I saw many old friends and made a ton of new friends and met and inordinate amount of folks I only knew online or by phone — all…
