Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Today the Independent Press Association gave us some money back. Imagine in early 2007, our distributor went belly up. They shut the door, and slammed everyone out. Basically they said, “Eric, all the money we owe for GR’s sales etc, you can’t have it. Fuck you.” They disconnected their phones, their offices were dark, no one was around.

The classic Spike Lee joint. His career definitely gets more current, with the Boondocks project. He was the president of BET for a few years, and now he's making it back into the fold of regular life....

The classic Spike Lee joint. His career definitely gets more current, with the Boondocks project. He was the president of BET for a few years, and now he’s making it back into the fold of regular life. He’s also writing comics, and is going to dip back into to making stuff again. Isn’t he handsome in this photo? Good job Sears!
