ITEM! Apparently it's been Batgirl Sketch Week over on LiveJournal, where a bunch of people have done sketches of everyone's favorite crimefighting librarian. Check it out. (link via Heidi)
ITEM! The Diamond December Sales Charts are out, and it's not looking good for any publisher whose name isn't 'DC' or 'Marvel'; 95 of the top 100 books are from those two publishers, leaving the rest of the market to scrable for scraps of readers.
ITEM! Sara Ryan's new YA novel, The Rules for Hearts, is scheduled to be released on October 19th. Circle the date on your calendars now.
ITEM! The Straight Dope covers the history of public libraries in the U.S. (no mention of manga, though!)

Yet Another Friday Question - Your First Comic Purchase
What was the first comic book you ever purchased?For me it was Marvel Special Edition featuring Star Wars #1, a tabloid-sized collection of the first three issues of Marvel's Star Wars adaptation--the first half of the movie. I only had this first half, so I read and re-read the first half of Star Wars over and over. This of course was way back in the day before home video, so comic book adaptaions were one of the very few ways to relive a movie experience.
How about you--what was the first comic you bought?
