Bundled, Tossed, Untied and Stacked

* a couple of you sent me this link (thank you!) that lets us know they're publishing adaptations of Diana Gabaldon's prose work and/or works in comics form related to that prose work.

* the charity group The Hero Initiative will publish its Marvel-allowed book of Hulk illustrations this December. Monies earned will go to the group's charitable work with older and in-need comic book creators.

* here's some good news if like me you're an Evan Dorkin fan: he's completed 16 pages of comics for a version of Larry Doyle's prose novel I Love You, Beth Cooper to be released next year in conjunction with the film version. Dorkin did the cover illustration for the well-received book.

* the venerable alt-comics publisher Fantagraphics announces a 2009 book from Jason collecting the hilarious New York Times comic serial Low Moon.

* here are some of the covers on those mini-comics I noticed in one of the recent shipping lists. They're meant to be Halloween giveaways. Halloween is weird. I think there needs to be a Halloween czar just to set a baseline standard in terms of candy-bar size, and what you can give out and things like that.

* finally, a few of you wrote in to inquire after the status of the Joost Swarte book at Fantagraphics, Modern Swarte, after Amazon.com canceled pre-orders. Eric Reynolds of Fantagraphics says that the book will be out in 2009. They canceled orders because they can't say exactly when in 2009: they want to give Swarte all the time he needs to do as much work as he wants on the book before starting the release cycle. The publisher remains confident the book will be released next year, though, and they'll re-solicit when they know exactly when it will ship.
