It seems that Fantagraphics has a coup in the Complete Peanuts. It's on the New York Best Seller list, and so I hope that Fanta can put the extra money behind more art comics. This seems to be at least twelve years without money worries, if they play their cards right, and without money worries, more new artists can be taken on, and more old artists can continue to be archived.

Fantagraphics has always been a leader in that field, and more art comics means the advancement of comics in my view. I'm not saying that comics don't need manga and Oni press(the real mainstream in my parlance) or even superheroes, but we also need to stretch beyond what comics we have made in the past, and go towards the future.
