Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Johanna Draper Carlson on Something New. Henry Chamberlain on Over The Wall #1. J. Caleb Mozzocco on a bunch of different comics. John Seven on The Ark.

* Hillary Brown talks to Brecht Evens. Frank Santoro talks to Noah Van Sciver. Joel Meadows talks to Eddie Campbell.

* please please please be Sexy Agatha Harkness.

* I'm lost trying to find a date on this, but Alison Bechdel is always interesting and of interest.

* not comics: this is adorable. Chris Schweizer makes the comics that I wanted to read when I was a kid after watching movies like Johnny Tremain and 1776.

* here's another call for papers, from an outsider's perspective a bit lighter even than most comics-related calls for papers, but I'm sure the scholarship involved is very serious and potentially enlightening just like any other academic inquiry.

* Ben Yakas visits with Al Jaffee. It's been interesting that Jaffee has taken on the grand older statesman of comics role in terms of these kinds of profiles. After Joe Kubert passed away I figured the only popular figure in comics people would talk about from that point forward would be Stan Lee.

* finally, our condolences to Colleen Doran.
