As many readers know, I have been developing an archives for comic-book sales figures throughout history for many years. My latest report, covering comics for the month of January 2006 sold by Diamond Comic Distributors, can be found here. My comments also appear on Newsarama here.

With Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #1 gong on sale today, I figured it was time for a redesign of the website -- plus the obligatory blog. I first used the Faraway Looks subtitle back on a 1992 comic strip -- before reusing it as a column title in Comics Buyer's Guide from 1996-2000 -- and exporting it back to my own comics for the Faraway Looks small press title I did in 2002. (And I may use it yet again. Because -- because, well, it's too darn hard to keep coming up with new titles, all right?) No, actually, I originally got the phrase from Carl Barks' Uncle Scrooge story, "Back to the Klondike" -- which is as good a source as any. There will be more ramblings here as time goes on, theoretically. I shall endeavor to entertain -- or, at least, not to give you less than you paid to see when you got in here...
