Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* these lengthy, scattered Jeet Heer posts sure are something.

* Again With The Comics takes a look at the legendary "Marvel Benefit Issue" of Coober Skeber, which I think was the magazine's second issue (I should probably just look). That book was a lot of fun but thinking about the politics involved and the cultural acceptance of certain ideas in comics, holy crap that was a long, long, long time ago.

* a huge number of Hergé works are going for sale at auction. I'm not sure this article describes exactly what's going up, but it gives you a rough idea.

* the writer, editor, publisher Gary Groth responds to a Jeet Heer mini-essay about cartoonists experiencing mid-life crises.

* the cartoonist Paul Hornschemeier will draw for you. His custom art always looks great.

* man, the Wired readers who responded to the must-read comics question have really restrictive tastes.

* finally, nearly $43K has been raised in initial efforts on behalf of an endowed fund in the name of the late cartoonist Corky Trinidad.
