Bundled, Tossed, Untied and Stacked

By Tom Spurgeon

* Richmond Magazine has added Rob Ullman's Traffic & Weather to its web site. Editor & Publisher will be running work from Rob Tornoe.

* this probably doesn't mean anything to anyone but me due to its extreme arbitrariness and lateness, but I only just noticed that one of the Viz offerings this summer is Daisuke Igarashi's Children of the Sea, which I recall being popular in scanned form.

* Titan Books has apparently expanded its publishing arrangement with Joe Simon, with the result being a lot more books than originally planned.

* finally, Rodrigo Baeza writes in with news that the Argentinian newspaper Pagina/12 is currently reprinting four out-of-print graphic novels. They are El Suenero by Enrique Breccia, Rolo, el Marciano Adoptivo by Hector German Oesterheld and Solano Lopez, Ministerio by Ricardo Barreiro and Solaano Lopez (the Young Witches team!) and El Caballero del Pinion Fijio by Carlos Trillo and Domingo Mandrafina. Who doesn't love that line-up. Baeza says that cheap GN reprints alongside newspapers isn't an unheard-of thing, although other than some Spider-Man inserts and maybe the original serialization of Jar Of Fools you'd be hard pressed to find something similar in the U.S.
