...this year at least, attendees totally scored. Several publishers had advance copies of books that amounted to a summer comix reading list. The biggest draw at the festival must have been Craig Thompson?s ?Blankets? (Top Shelf; $29.95). A giant, 500+ page graphic novel about growing up in Wisconsin, it has generated a tremendous amount of buzz, causing swarms of people to hover around the artist and his mountain of books. A deep and powerful work, it tells the story of a teenager growing up in an austere, fundamentalist Christian family. His struggles with faith and self-identity...

Kennedy ’54-’56, D-Mass., created characters that made America laugh, such as Craig the Spartan cheerleader, musical middle school teacher Marty Culp and the caffeine-hyped host of mock talk show “Morning Latte...

REVEALED: THE SECRET OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR, read the banner headline. ENVIRONMENT, NOT GENES, KEY TO OUR ACTS. The source of the story was Craig Venter, the self-made man of genes who had built a private company to read the full sequence of the human genome in competition with an international consortium funded by taxes and charities.
