This past weekend I encountered a vendor who had a small stack of early 2000s indie comics and I picked up a few odds and ends from him, including a 2001 anthology I&#8217;d not heard of called <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drippytown.com\/drippytown-comics.html\" target=\"_blank\">Drippytown<\/a>, <\/em>which apparently originated in Vancouver. \u00a0It caught my eye because it featured\u00a0early work by now well-known cartoonists such as Tony Millionaire and Marc Bell. The real surprise of the comic, though, was an extensive text essay on the history of EC Comics&#8211;and reminiscense of the 2000 EC &#8220;reunion&#8221; held at the San Diego Comic-Con&#8211;by
