Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked: Publishing News
By Tom Spurgeon
* One Percent Press
has announced they'll be translating
L'Age Dur by Max De Radigues as
Rough Age, for a debut at the Small Press Expo and availability through normal channels a bit after that.
* it's August, which means people are furiously working on material to handsell at
SPX. Noah Van Sciver
is no exception.
*
the next Ed Brubaker/Sean Phillips/Bettie Breitweiser project, Fade-Out, is previewed at AV Club.
* Ryan Sands talks about Youth In Decline-related SPX debuts in
this conversation with Chris Mautner.
*
James Vance pens some praise for a French-language edition of his collaboration with Dan Burr, On The Ropes.
* one announcement that I flat-out missed during Comic-Con International --
I guess it was exclusive to PW, maybe? -- is that Fantagraphics is going to publish
The Late Child And Other Animals by Marguerite Van Cook and James Romberger. That comes out in November of this year, so I guess an announcement this close to that date means it wasn't in the catalogs, which is kind of interesting. I look forward to seeing that one.
*
Fantagraphics has a first look at its Complete Zap design up at a devoted page.
* speaking of big books I want:
Giant Moomin.
* Simon Hanselmann promotes the imminent
Megahex with some panels, which is appropriate because the formal structure of those comics places a great deal of emphasis on the panel work.
*
the Howard The Duck omnibus will apparently be reprinted. I like a lot of those comics quite a bit.
* I haven't tried it out myself, but
this Kevin Melrose blog post from a few days back promised to take you to a free first issue of
The Bunker.
* I've been horrible about my own summary pieces, but
this PW article on comics-related news at July's Comic-Con International might be useful to some of you that want a bunch of one-line items about comics news announced there. I wish they had shortened the introduction some to get in the rest of the Fantagraphics announcements they didn't have room for, but it's not my article.
* the
Dharma Punks collection has a publication date at long last:
late October.
*
Jeff Zwirek is touring behind a second printing of his Burning Building Comix. It's the second printing more than the tour that puts that into this column.
* finally,
I wasn't aware that Darryl Cunningham's Supercrash was going to have a new title. That's the cover image below.
