Comics and Community XXII

The recently formed International Comic Arts Association, a new comic industry trade organization, seems to bode well for readers, creators, and publishers. But the most interesting aspect -- at least initially -- might very well be the related ComicArts AdCouncil and the ICAA Media Council, which will help increase the medium's visibility in the public eye. And the Comics Outreach Program? Shades of Free-Range Comic Books and Read a Comic Book in Public Day, methinks. More power to all involved!
