The cancellation of the London Film And Comic Con until August 2027 was the most-read story on Bleeding Cool yesterday. Lying In The Gutters is the daily runaround for the most-read stories the day before, as well as over the past seven years. Founded seventeen years ago and steeped in a history of comic book industry gossip for a further eighteen years before that, Bleeding Cool has become one of the longest-standing and most well-known pop culture websites around. The Daily Lying In The Gutters remains a long-running runaround the day before and possibly the day ahead. In summary, you can sign up to receive Lying In The Gutters as an email here. And maybe you just have.
Bleeding Cool continued to report from the comics industry shutdown, as Funko furloughed its own Pops, DC Comics arrived wrapped in plastic and Forbidden Planet continued to appeal for help – Klaus Janson donated a thousand dollars.
Remember when Wonder Woman was a symbol of power, both in terms of censorship and recreation? DC censoring their own work and the misappropriation of others, and people cared enough about Heroes In Crisis to threaten Tom King’s life.
There may still not be much of a party atmosphere right now. It all depends on which state you are living in. But comics folk are always getting older and still celebrating that special date.
If you are in comics and have a birthday coming up – or you know someone who has – get in touch at richjohnston@gmail.com.
