Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* today at noon is the end of voting for the Stumptown Comic Arts Awards.

image* Kiel Phegley talks to Axel Alonso and Mark Waid. Someone at ActuaBD.com talks to Derf Backderf.

* not comics: remember, this is Hal Jordan.

* dug up some old bookmarks I'm not sure I've posted; please forgive me if any are repeats. Here is Dan Berry's Guide To Making 24-Hour Comics. Chris Cilla posted a photo of various sketchbooks. Sarah McIntyre showed glimpses of a forthcoming work. I would just not want to be affiliated with this guy at all, and I'd sacrifice a bit to get there. Here is the life of an illustrator that worries too much. A recent symposium-style offering in New York is profiled here. Finally, kudos to those that held alternative events for the canceled con in Boston.

* Hannah Means-Shannon on Breakers. Timothy Callahan on Action Comics.

* Glen Brunswick delves into the sudden appearance of X-Men #1 art in the comics shop market in the 1980s, which must have been super-cool for those art director even if it points to some potentially awful stuff going on in terms of the provenance of those pages. I hate to send people to serial posts, so it's not a complete story yet, but I'll probably forget to return to it if I don't do so now.

* Batton Lash remembers George Gladir.

* finally, Brigid Alverson calls attention to Dark Horse's 25th year publishing manga.
