* The bargain of the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics festival: All five of the books in Benjamin Marra’s Traditional Comics line for $10 total. You are nuts if you don’t buy them at that price.

* Great interview alert: Arthur magazine’s Justin Farrar talks to Ron Regé Jr. about Yeast Hoist — both the comic series and the beer that is its latest installment.

* Jeet Heer sings the praises of Todd Hignite’s The Art of Jaime Hernandez. I don’t know why things always get so nasty in Comics Comics comment threads — I think they may have imported bad behavior from their various sparring partners, or maybe it’s just that any site with the word “Comics” in the name brings out the worst in people — but check it out anyway to watch various smart people (eg. Evan Dorkin) try to figure out why no one talked about this and other recent books of note.

* Destructor item of the day: Thanks to Agent M, NeilAlien, Comics Alliance, Xaviar Xerexes, Brian Warmoth, and Family Style for recommending the site to people.

* Anyone know if there’s a way to acquire back issues of Desert Island’s house anthology Smoke Signal? Can’t get ’em through the website except for the most recent one. If they’re at the Festival tomorrow then by God I’m grabbing them!
