Eddie Campbell's new book, "Alec: How to be an Artist," ($13.95, 128pp.) should not be confused with books like Lee & Buscema's "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way," or Will Eisner's "Graphic Storytelling."

Last year I observed Michael Eisner (chairman of Miramax parent company Disney) watching the proceedings with all the intensity of an attendee at the Oberammergau passion play...
Unlike Disneyland Paris and EPCOT Center in Florida, DCA is a relatively intimate park--an easy day's saunter, especially with the Fastpass that allows customers to book their favorite rides early. But this doesn't mean that the park came cheap. On a recent Sunday, Disney CEO Michael Eisner directed a visitor's gaze up to the park's central icon: Grizzly Peak, a concrete mountain in the shape of a roaring bear.
