A Pair of Key, Official Hirings Noted

* Clifford Meth, a writer, creators' rights advocate and publishing industry veteran, has joined the comics publisher IDW as Executive VP of Strategies/Editorial, which will enable him to have a role in that company's direction without, it seems, drastically changing the roles or responsibilities of current IDW staff. Meth may be best known for the royalty settlement he helped secure from Marvel Entertainment on behalf of the late artist Dave Cockrum for his work on the X-Men characters in the 1970s. He is a co-founder of Aardwolf and was most recently a Vice-President of Creative Development at IDT.

* Stuart Moore will edit the joint Virgin Comics/Sci Fi Channel imprint that is due to start releasing titles by the end of 2007. Moore is a well-connected writer who was previously an editor at Vertigo and the Marvel Knights line.
