Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* Yam Books has released the cover image for Renee French's forthcoming effort, Hagelbarger And That Nightmare Goat. That looks wonderful.

* Heidi MacDonald's Kirby Day post mentioned something that completely escaped my attention: Drew Friedman is doing a book of portraits featuring folks from the comic book industry, to be published by Fantagraphics sometime in 2014. That should be really good. At left is a pencil sketch of Martin Goodman, pulled from this post.

* that hugely successful of the new paradigm cartoonists Raina Telgemeier provides a progress report on Sisters due about 360 days from right now.

* there is a massive list right here of works of all size, shapes and forms that will debut at the Small Press Expo mid-month. I encourage you to check it out if you're going, and double-check it out if you don't.

* Nina Bunjevac wrote in to confirm that she'll be doing an illustrated biography of Nikola Tesla as her next big project, and directed me here for more information. I think that's a good match of cartoonist and subject matter, and look forward to the finished book. Also, I'm going to just start running wild guesses as to cartoonist's future projects; that way I can get another bit of news from the confirmation/denial. This is how my Mom thinks all newsgathering works.

* there will be a second Delilah Dirk book.

* veteran comics scribe Peter Milligan is writing for Valiant's Shadowman.

* Chris Sims previews the latest Devastator.

* I totally missed that a new Reich was in the works, let alone that it was imminent. Always like the covers on those.

* finally, new Mat Brinkman is coming.
