	COMICS & COMIC BOOKS
		I really think the idea of calling the squarebound 52-64 page magazines of the 30s comic "books" was a stroke of marketing genius, and they came closer to deserving it than their smaller descendants.
		Shallow movies will always have "comic book" plots, slow adults will always be stereotyped as reading "comic books" instead of books, flamboyant over-the-top celebrities will always be "comic book characters." I wish and hope that we will get over all this someday, but realistically I realize that it's not likely to happen.
		Some important books of comics are Maus, by Art Spiegelman; Stuck Rubber Baby, by Howard Cruse; and such collections as Cerebus by Dave Sim; Sandman, by Neil Gaiman and various artists; and Love and Rockets, by Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez.

	A Harlequin Valentine's Day Review \| Manga Punk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Harlequin is infatuated, yes, and he brings chaos and romance into the lives of those he passes, yes, but the object of his affections, Missy, is unresponsive.
		As for the more technical aspects of the comic's presentation, I was awed at first by the lovely graphic design on the inner covers, but when I reached the meat of the comic, the sequentials, I was shocked to find blurry text.
		Yeah, the back of the book and the history of the Harlequin characters were the interesting part of the book for me. The history of Punch and Judy and so for, seems to explain some about British humor and their culture.

		With the launch of its Ginger Blossom imprint of comic books, the Toronto-based global publisher is trying out east meets west fusion, by illustrating its classic romance novels in the Japanese comic style known as manga.
		With their sweeping, fluid lines, and characters with simplistic faces and big round eyes (as well as the back-to-front flow of pages), the books are authentic examples of the manga genre — as they should be, having been created originally for the Japanese market.
		Harlequin plans to release four more titles soon, as one of many attempts to attract new readers.

		Harlequin formed a relationship with the Japanese publisher Ohzora a few years ago, and Ohzora has been publishing manga versions of Harlequin novels for almost a decade.

		The majority of Harlequin readers tend to be relatively older women, but older women in the US don't read comics--or at least, not enough to create a substantial market worth printing and selling to.
		As I said on the NEWSARAMA forums, though: "Comics and manga companies should be focusing on growing with their female audience rather than leaping over them--ie.
		The mass paperback market is a frickin' monster, and the kind of advertising campaigns they may potentially employ with their US manga titles could potentially harm what little respect girls in comics have won in the past few years.

	Amazon.com: Harlequin Valentine: Books: Neil Gaiman,John Bolton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Harlequin Valentine is one of his better works, with artist John Bolton bringing Gaimen's story to life, animating it with sharp photographic quality characters cavorting in stark relief against fuzzy and uncertain backgrounds.
		Personally, I found the story to be a little short, thus making it a bit unsatisfying for me. The beginning is promising with Harlequin pinning his heart to her door and Valentine's indifference as she removes the pin to take it down.
		In this comic, Neil Gaiman, the auteur writer behind the wonderful, epic Sandman comics teams up with painterly artist John Bolton (who worked on Gaiman's fine original Books of Magic miniseries) in a one-shot comic based on the English variatons of the Italian commedia dell'arte characters of Harlequin, Columbine, Pantaloon, and the Doctor.

	Sequential Tart: Comic Reviews - Heidi Payne (vol IV/iss 5/May 2001)
		Add to that the delightful combo of Harlequin's gang and the Riddler's gang, the two ringleaders of said gangs, and Big Barda, summoned in by Oracle in a moment of utter lunacy on her part, and you have the recipe for mayhem if ever there was one.
		One hopes that the nefarious professor from Harlequin's past (how can he not be nefarious?) proves interesting, and one also hopes there are many more moments like the one on page 20.
		And, speaking of the girlfriend who ultimately was glad Scott had dumped his look-alike wife for her (Thank God Maddie turned out to be hopelessly evil, talk about taking the blame off Scott's shoulders with that), Jean's busy bringing a handful of third-rate mutants, Dazzler and Northwind to head for the fight.
