Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* if I were going to do a best-of 20th Century comics at this point, I'd try and consider the film parodies at MAD. It's amazing that even at this late age I'm still seeing movie I was certain I'd seen before but really I only saw the parody in MAD.

image* Urs Bellermann profiles Chris Ware. Padraig O Mealoid talks to Eddie Campbell. Sasha Fields profiles SAW.

* J. Caleb Mozzocco calls bullshit on Aquaman's lady-impersonating abilities.

* Mitchell Hooks, RIP.

* I quite like this image.

* Raina Telgemeier is a star.

* Jeffrey O. Gustafson reviews a bunch of new comics and a pair of Tintin albums. John Kane writes on a bunch of comics, and a bunch of different comics. Rob Clough on a bunch of different graphic-novel efforts from several years ago. J. Caleb Mozzocco on DC Super Friends.

* not comics: Gil Roth vs. the GQ 21st Century prose mini-canon.

* love for Portland's Reading Frenzy.

* Joe Shuster was penniless in the early 1950s.

* finally, Alex Buchet writes about the Al Plastino Option on Peanuts, and even reprints some of the Plastino comics, if you've never seen them.
