Comics & Creativity
I came across two great comics-oriented works today, both of which are interesting even if you don't care about comics. First, a moving essay about how a work-for-hire artist took a crass, licensed media tie-in, turned it into art, and inspired a generation of comics fans and pros.
And then the great Scott McCloud on Ted.com.
