Here’s an interesting tidbit from the comic community across the pond: The British Arts Council has bestowed a £6000 (about 10,000 US dollars) grant to the British International Comic Show to help bring the medium of comics to a wider audience. This news stands in stark contrast to the censorship and law suits leveled against comic book publishers and distributers we mentioned a few weeks ago. It’s great to see a government organization recognizing and supporting the proliferation of comic books as an art form! Read the whole story here. Can you think of any other ways you’d like to see more attention brought to comics as an artistic medium?
