Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* Tim Kreider wrote in to say he's updating The Pain again in anticipation of his forthcoming prose collection, and that there's also a promotional Facebook page. You should go like it.

* Sean T. Collins, from whom I've read about 93 percent of everything I know about Jonny Negron, ran this cover image from a forthcoming PictureBox Inc. effort. Due this Fall.

* here's some excellent news: Dylan Horrocks and Karl Stevens are teaming up to finish Dylan's The American Dream. They're looking for a publisher. I'm looking to buy a copy.

* Aubrey Sitterson is excited about the new Redekai comics with which he's involved.

* congratulations to Eagle Times on reaching the quarter-century mark.

* here's a permutation to a standard publishing news story that I hadn't considered. The low sales for Vertical's just-completed run of Twin Spica means that series is likely to go out of print, and not in a slow way over several years, either.

* no link available; this is something I read in the bathroom in a magazine printed on material derived from dead trees: a profile of the artist Christian Marclay in the March 12 issue of The New Yorker indicates "he had enlisted a Tokyo publisher, Akaaka, to print a comic book book that would be composed entirely of bits from other manga." That sounds not really interesting, but there it is.

* Domino Books has a cover up for the next Jonathan Petersen book.

* not comics: I missed this Dave Cooper print.

* most certainly comics: Fantagraphics previews Trubble Club #5.

* Johanna Draper Carlson caught word that Laura Lee Gulledge has announced a book with Abrams for 2013.

* you know who has that new edition of Paul Kirchner's The Bus for sale? PictureBox Inc. does.

* James Harren will be doing some Conan with the writer Brian Wood.

* I'm always in favor of more Judge Dredd.

* I forgot to mention that there will be a Womanthology ongoing; it was announced 10-14 days ago. The contributors will be paid, which was something that became a bone of contention about the first, famously/massively-kickstarted stand-alone version.

* finally, I missed this fine-looking cover for the next Josh Simmons effort with Fantagraphics. Simmons and Fantagraphics have had a fruitful run so far; they don't seem to have a lot of cartoonists that are in his exact comics generation or that pursue the kinds of projects he does, which if true (and not just my impression) I would imagine helps.
