Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* the cartoonist Tom Tomorrow announced yesterday that This Modern World returns to the Village Voice on I guess today after an extended absence, which is good news for the alt-weekly and for the feature.

* this post about his process indicates that Jeffrey Brown is working on a sequel to his Cat Getting Out Of A Bag to be called Cat Walks. There are apparently a journal and a postcard set using art from the first book. (via)

* I've noted this in separate posts, but the on-line publication of Will Eisner's PS Magazine and the availability of a book about Eisner's time at the magazine, Paul Fitzgerald's Will Eisner and PS Magazine is certainly worth noting in the publishing news column.

* the cartoonist Tak Toyoshima is taking his Secret Asian Man from a daily back to its original weekly format.

* it took Gary Tyrrell to remind me that Andrew Farago has recently completed his first mega-arc on his webcomic William Bazillion.

* new Blake et Mortimer for Christmas. The North American market is close to being the kind of market where a big property taking aim at a holiday like this is standard news, but it's not quite there. I'm not sure why this would matter to anyone, but the thought did occur to me. (via)

* Joseph Lambert is coming to MOME.

* I fairly powered past this article at PW from late last month about new deals at First Second (Thien Pham, Dave Roman, Lucy Knisley), Villard (Kazu Kibuishi's anthology work) and Scholastic (Kibuishi's solo work), but that doesn't mean you should. One thing that may or may not be interesting to the average cartoonist or comics industry watcher is that they're all agented deals.

* finally, the comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com has word that Cinebook is going to release volumes of XIII in the United States starting in May 2010.
