Bundled, Tossed, Untied and Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* Donna Barstow was nice enough to write in to say that she joined Slate last month as a regular contributor.

* this is astounding news, of course, because those comics are great, but part of me thinks we already knew about it. Maybe it's come to the point with all the reprints that I just assume everything I like is going to come out in one of these series.

* it looks like Tripwire may have finally found its niche, as a provider of up to a few glossy, high-end specials per year. The next one will focus on adventure comics.

* the longtime arts comics publisher Fantagraphics is rolling out their next catalog in on-line chunks like this one. Just about every project featured is of at least some interest. The unfortunate thing is I believe you have to just scroll until you find these, as I'm not finding a common tag.

* Matthew Loux has launched a Salt Water Taffy web site in support of the print books that will feature comics not in the print books.

* Kevin Maroney wrote in to inform me that the Skrull Kill Krew revival Marvel's released this week is written by Adam Felber. Apparently this is common knowledge. Felber's best known for being a panelist on Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me. So I guess that means the series will be humorous.

* a little birdie wrote in to tell me that I almost had my wish that the freaking-out guy from the cover of Action Comics #1 really did almost have his own story but since the status of that original comic book is an important legal question right now DC went a different way with the issue in question.

* in addition to that boss-looking Paul Pope Spock comic, Jeff Bartoletti writes in to say that Chris Ware has a one-pager in May's Wired as well.

* here's a nice photo showing off Seth's design work on the forthcoming Nancy book from Drawn and Quarterly.

* the cartoonist Lea Hernandez is re-launching her Rumble Girls: RLO projects and needs subscribers.

* finally, AdHouse Books has details up on the third of their Process Recess series, art books they do with celebrated illustrator and comics cover artist James Jean. That should be out this summer.
