Comic Book
Rex Libris, a new comic book about a librarian sounds fun.
With the innovation of the teleportation crystal in 1921 by Litteratus Magi Rex Libris, a whole new era in lending opened up: interstellar book loans became possible. By 1960, over ten thousand volumes of extraterrestrial origin had been collected and stored at the Middleton Book Repository, a ceramic encased bunker deep beneath the Middleton Public Library. It remains one of the most important reference collections of xenognomic material, and is often used by the Pentagon during alien invasions. Middleton library staff, led by Head Librarian Rex Libris, used information from the interstellar collection to repel an attack by the malevolent Sl'uklu'uhk (hideous, giant space molluscs from beyond Pluto) in 1967, although little information on this event has ever been released to the public.
I'm adding this to my list at the local comic shop.

Censorship
Here in Texas a person was convicted for selling adult material to an adult from the adult section of the store. The material was never found to be obscene. It happened to be a comic book, which as we all know are always for children. Bad precedent. Support...
