Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* via e-mail from Jason T. Miles comes the rest of the recent Fantagraphics personnel moves: Martin Bland will take over Miles' old positino as "Director of Sales/Circulation Manager as Miles moves into the job of "Production Manager/Editorial." Bland's been with the company for 13 years, primarily as shipping manager.
* not comics, but, you know, pretty: cartoonist Jordan Crane has some post-Con prints ready to sell.
* the best news story that Comic-Con crushed? A man facing the death penalty
takes time from a surprise e-mail sent to a newspaper to request they keep his favorite comic strips. (thx, Justin J. Major)
* I want to pull this one out so I remember to get to it myself: Robert Boyd, a fine critic in his own right,
reviews Best American Comics Criticism.
* not comics:
this is funny enough on a bunch of levels I don't want to find out if it's true or not.
* finally, a flurry of great links courtesy of Devlin Thompson: a great-looking superhero themed
book cover; a bunch of
freakishly gorgeous art from an old Disney songbook;
MAD letterhead; a
MAD rejection letter; a Marvel
promotion at the White House (is that Jonathan Frakes playing Captain America?); another entry
analyzing obscenicons; a wonderful Bill Watterson
letter and
a certificate putting a kid into the Supermen Of America. Thanks, Devlin. I'm sorry I let them stack up!
