Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* according to isolated yelps around the Internet and the press release they sent out, Koyama Press is going to have a Blobby Boys book out this Fall. The work from Alex Schubert will be 52 pages, full-color, softcover, and go for $10. It should debut in September.

* Conundrum Press has announced that they'll be debuting a stunning five new comics works at this year's mid-May TCAF, from authors Michel Rabagliati, Chihoi, Philippe Girard, Lorenz Peter and Joe Ollmann. The Ollmann was a book originally ensconced at Drawn And Quarterly subsequently taken to Conundrum by the author.

* I'm very happy for Dean Haspiel to get to work with Mark Waid on one of the Archie superheroes. Dean Haspiel should be constantly employed drawing superheroes as much as he wants to take on that kind of work. I will check that one out.

* here's a call to bring back British girls' comics in a bigger way.

* I have some extra bookmarks that I'm not I've used, so this is not only old news but news that may have already found its way onto the site. Hey, this site deserves its awards nominations with maneuvers like this. Anyway, here's a link about the end of DC's Batman Incorporated title, that series being one of the companyh's creative highlights of recent memory. I think maybe I blacked out rather than processed this one as true, but Dark Horse will do the original Star Wars concept material as its own comic. I would think the creators used would be everything on that. Anyway, as someone that read all of those early-Tolkien drafts when those were published, I can't really blame anyone for getting into that project. Finally, I totally missed word of a new King Features strip, and I don't really know why.

* I am greatly looking forward to this book.

* via widely-disseminated press release comes word that Random House has purchased the graphic novel series Hilo from the writer and cartoonist Judd Winick, with a first book scheduled for 2015.

* finally, via the FPI blog comes word that Egmont will be putting together books of comics based on the properties of Gerry Anderson. I imagine there are a lot of fun comics there.
