Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Justice doesn't come cheap in these United States (and most of the time it probably doesn't come at all), but if it did come cheap, you wouldn't be reading Anything Goes!. This comic is published by The Comics Journal, the revenue from which is going, not to the creators, who certainly deserve it, but to paying the Journal's legal defense in its six-year litigation initiated by the comic book writer Michael Fleisher. Thanks, once again, are in order, to readers for buying the comic and helping to support the Journal's continued journalistic efforts, and to the creators for making the book possible. A few comments and thank-yous:

Neal Adams would like it known that he's not taking sides in the litigation between the Journal and Fleisher, and that he drew our Cerebus cover (with the much appreciated permission of Dave Sim) in the interests of helping the Journal see the lawsuit through. Special thanks to Cory Adams for a stunning color job.

And, speaking of comic's premier wise-guy, many thanks to Dave Sim for coming through with his contribution. (In fact, I haven't forgotten that Dave was one of the first people to buy an "I Support The Comics Journal And The First Amendment" t-shirt five or six years ago when the lawsuit first broke. Even though he's never done us the honor of parodying the Journal in Cerebus, the crazy bastard must like it. Birds of a feather, I guess.)...
