[edit] References and notability

First, full disclosure, I edit Comics Revue. On the other hand, the list of artists published in Comics Revue should establish its notability: Jack Kirby, Hal Foster, Roy Crane, Charles Shulz, Harold Grey, and many others equally famous among comic book and comic strip fans.

There are very few publications that review comic books. I have added a reference section, and two reviews from Comics Buyers' Guide, one of the few publications that does review comics, as well as a Europen reviews. (Europeans rate American comic strips much more highly than Americans do.) Rick Norwood 12:45, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for doing this. Can you provide the issue number for the Comics Buyer's Guide quotes? Or is there a link we can add to them? Full citation will definitely help to establish notability. Thanks, GentlemanGhost (talk) 07:52, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed quote in French

I removed this quote from the article:

Louis Cance, Hop! No. 112, "Comics Revue Ce mensuel propose dans ses 68 pages une belle sélection de grands classiques del la BD américaine evec..." (list of contents)

Untranslated, it is not of much use to the English language version of Wikipedia. If someone can translate it, then it would be more useful. Respectfully, GentlemanGhost (talk) 07:50, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm restoring the quote with translation added, and providing links for the other reference. I'll try to find those issues numbers, also. Rick Norwood (talk) 14:24, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

GentlemanGhost, perhaps you can help me walk the fine line between providing useful information and tooting my own horn. What additional information do you think this article should include? Rick Norwood (talk) 14:32, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the translation. The article looks good. You've managed to avoid the pitfalls of conflict of interest. One thing that's missing is the date of publication of the first issue. Also, has it always been printed by Manuscript Press? If not, you might want to mention that in the article. How pages are in a typical issue? How many different strips are there in each issue? Do you collect entire runs at once? Story arcs? Or do you print any of these strips serially? (I think I know the answer to that, but you might want to check to make sure that it's spelled out in the article.) Those are some items off the top of my head.
