Smile fans, rejoice: Raina Telgemeier just unveiled the cover for her next project, Drama, and it looks like a winner.

Schulz Museum this February. Check out her blog for the full list of events.

DC Comics is digging into the vault to re-issue a classic Wonder Woman storyline from the 1970s: The Twelve Labors. The TPB will arrive in stores in July and retail for $14.95.
