Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* it's funny because it's true.

image* Tucker Stone and Michel Fiffe talk at length about Love & Rockets: New Stories #3. I haven't read it the post yet, it's very long and loosely edited, but Jaime's story may be the best of his distinguished career so I'm interested to hear what they have to say about it.

* I highly recommend Brigid Alverson's remembrance of Stuart Hample.

* the only superhero in which the morbidly depressing Funky Winkerbean has any interest these days.

* everything's coming up Lafler!

* Editor & Publisher has a profile up on Ted Rall, using the occasion of his return from Afghanistan as a springboard.

* and for no particular reason, here's Alan Moore's parody of Frank Miller's Daredevil.

* Gary Tyrrell brings new information that Wowio may be trying to distribute folks' comics, and reminds us of the old news that there's still a 14-month window from which they owe people money.

* finally, the writer Graeme McMillan talks about wallowing in nostalgia, except not really, because it's somebody else's nostalgia. The concept of community memory is an interesting one for comics because right now it spans about three decades but before that it barely spanned three years at any one time. A lot of what's shaped comics in the last quarter-century has to do with the comics we take around with us inside our heads.
