* Kevin Huizenga posts a random image and what looks like maybe a cover for the forthcoming Ganges #3. The first two issues were both top five comics of the year on a lot of lists the years they came out, so just the hint that something with that recent pedigree is coming seems to me grand news.

* IDW is set to publish a print anthology from the ACT-I-VATE webcomics collective.

image* one project that's completely escaped my attention is a reprinting of Howard Chaykin's Blackhawk mini-series, the place many in my generation of comics readers first saw a discreet depiction of a comic book blowjob. I'm kidding; I remember enjoying the series very much. Here's a write-up on the collection from Pretty Fakes.

* Frederik Stromberg has converted his site into English.

* here's a cover image for the first John Campbell book.

* Oscar Grillo's The World Is Round is due to be reprinted.

* Titan is gearing up for the assumption of the Lenore publishing reins, starting in October.

* Dash Shaw and Tom Kaczynski are collaborating on a comic.

* I thought this had been announced much, much earlier, but I'm not comfortable saying that with 100 percent certainty so here you go: Archie is going to do one-shot specials bringing back their superhero characters, all of which are to be written by Michael Uslan.

* the arrival of Hans Rickheit's Squirrel Machine is imminent.

* David Welsh finds two manga titles a-comin' that make him happy enough to do the Snoopy dance.

* SLG is planning to publish a comic book series about Sarah Winchester, a deserving historical figure that may or may not be served by a story in which the villain is Harry Houdini's ghost.

* finally, our pal Rich Tommaso wrote in to say that La Cupula is publishing a version of his The Horror Of Collier County in Spain and that Ca et La will publish a book version of his latest project Miriam (image at bottom) that will include the entirety of Alternative's issue #1 and the yet to be placed with a US publisher issue #2.
