Two asides to this discussion...

One, there's a really excellent article by Frank Pierson about the movie and,
by implication, the TV business, at

Two, there's a documentary about comics on the history channel that repeats
Sunday at 10 p.m. Pacific...apparently (I haven't seen it yet, just heard about
it) there's some nice stuff about the 9/11 issue of Amazing that I wrote, plus
a bunch of other good stuff about comics as a form.
