this drawing post

I did not know this
.
*
fake drawing is acceptable
.

a couple of comics-journalism projects
. Sean Gaffney on
Dengeki Daisy
Vol. 11

Venus Daedalus One
. Grant Goggans on
a bunch of
Legion Of Super-Heroes
comics

a site acting as a PR clearinghouse for crowd-funded projects
sounds like a good idea, but it's all in the execution.
* not comics: the cartoonist and illustrator Laura Park
has a picture-book out
.
* finally, a Superman-related event
has Joe Shuster sketches of a model from which he assembled the basic look of Superman
, or at least parts of that look. I like that there's still stuff to learn about Superman, even if this is something that might have been out there but simply forgot (I honestly can't remember).
