I know I lead the Blog links with Mark Evanier's always-informative site -- but I don't always get a chance to check it myself. On the offchance that you find yourself in the same situation, let me post on my own that comics buffs who care about the people who actually make their entertainment will enjoy this site. Mark posted about it yesterday, but I didn't stumble over his recommendation till this morning.

It's many, many photos from the files of Alan Light, who created Comics Buyer's Guide when he was in high school. Alan is a devoted photographer, takes clear shots of people and places, and has provided this great scrapbook of icons in our field. Look! Look!

Oh, and I just finished looking and discovered a photo of Hal Schuster and me at the very conclusion of them all! Now, that was a surprise.

(Also of note: a lovely photo of Carol Kalish on one of the first "pages." She hated having her picture taken, though there are several routine shots later in the lot. But the first photo of her in this set is beautiful. The impact on the industry of her early death remains impossible to calculate.)
