The Cornell 7 we’re all talking about? That story was broken in the work of Cereese Qusba, who is a reporter at The Ithaca Voice and a news editor at The Cornell Daily Sun, two independent newspapers. She is still herself, a student at Cornell University.

Sigh... I guess I'll never own a page from one of my favorite jobs of all time: the Star-Lord issue of Marvel Preview by Byrne and Austin. Just mind blowing stuff, especially from Austin (working for black and white). This great one just sold for 14k at Heritage.

I'm obsessed with the work of inker Terry Austin, particularly in the '70s and '80s. There are a couple of great examples for auction at Heritage now. First... check this page inked over Pat Broderick. Looks like Terry used a lot of Rapidograph here, and tons of tones for a b&w book.

Another Terry Austin example also includes legends Neal Adams and Dick Giordano (and one of the best superhero book ever - Superman vs. Muhammad Ali). Terry does backgrounds only here, and he's using a Hunt 102 nib (with bits of fading marker). Interesting how Dick tweaked the clouds in panel 1.

MS NOW Legal Analyst @weissmann11 reacts to a tense exchange in which Sen.

Yes. I hope all the democrats follow suit. Be dogs with a bone about it. It's a perfect illustration of the GOP's bad faith complaints about "lawfare" and "perjury traps." Even if he had said the wrong team, it's ridiculously petty grandstanding to try to spin that as criminal perjury.
