Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

*****

* I did not know that Fantagraphics was going to be doing something with the late Jack Jackson's library of works. It's a tough field, but if there's a top five of under-appreciated cartoonists set in stone out there, Jack Jackson's name has to be among them.

* the cartoonist Chris Schweizer shows off a few pages for the third Crogan book, and provides an update on scripting for the fourth.

* the imminent Habibi sure cuts an impressive figure.

* Sleepwalk And Other Stories enters its fifth printing.

* I don't know if I linked to this already or not, but it's always good news when a new issue of Ganges is about to drop.

* the Batman of "Earth One" is one squat-looking little kid.

* missed it: the debut a while back of a twice-weekly webcomic from prominent creators -- and I believe office mates, maybe? -- Jerry Holkins, Mike Krahulik and Scott Kurtz.

* Steve Skelton has placed 2 Cows And A Chicken on hiatus.

* Cul-De-Sac picks up the San Antonio slot vacated by Family Tree. I think that's a fine tonal match, and I hope other newspapers consider it. It's an interesting piece to see what Richard Thompson's profile looks like these days in the public sense.

* DC's recently popular Justice Society of America comics will return in some as-yet announced form under the new re-launch.

* the Lutefisk Sushi cover-artist contest is currently in the voting stage. You can pick between Zander Cannon, Ryan Dow, Dwitt, Britt Hammberg, Lupi McGinty, Dan Murphy, Bill Prendergast, Britt Sabo, Tim Sievert and Brett Von Schlosser. If nothing else, you can familiarize yourself with any of the cartoonists of whom you're not aware.

* Al Davison is trying to raise money for a part-autobiographical book through IndieGoGo.

* finally, a new Ditkomania dropped earlier this month.
