Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* Uncivilized Books continues its aggressive rollout with the dissemination of a release related to James Romberger's Post York. There was a lot of talk about this company at SPX, mostly from approving cartoonists.

* Josh Simmons leads off a strong line-up of new work from Oily Comics. I'm fond of Oily Comics; I think having tons and tons of simply-presented cheap mini-comics is a plan. I know I bought stuff at that table down at SPX and I spent practically no money at SPX.

* Darryl Cunningham believes his Uncle Bob Adventures book may be out in March. That's one to look forward to. Update: Kenny Penman of Blank Slate wrote in to say the book remains unscheduled, so won't be out in March unless Cunningham moves the book to a different publisher.

* manga isn't exactly my area, but I have to imagine that word that Blade Of The Immortal is ending its serialization after 19 years is a pretty huge deal. That seems like one of those iconic manga in translation that's always been around.

* the kickstarted Exhibit A Press project The Monsters Meet On Court Street is now available. That's apparently not carried by Diamond, but you can also get it through Baker & Taylor or via Amazon.

* Alan Gardner has word on the launch of Mike Lester's Mike Du Jour. I wish I had heard about it before now. Part of that's one me; I should really hammer out an arrangement with the syndicates to hear about new material. This site has been around for eight years, though, and covers the comic strip medium as thoroughly as anyone, I think -- just not exclusively. So if any of you strip folks are out there, please include CR in your dissemination of press.

* hey, Comics As Poetry has a dedicated site now.

* for no particular reason I can remember, this image of a future Fatale cover was in my bookmarks. I blame twitter.

* I somehow missed that Mike Mignola is returning to draw some more Hellboy material. That should be attractive.

* here's a new comic involving Josh Neufeld. I always get super-confused by releases that go format first like the one that led me there pretty much did. I'm mostly not interested in formats the way I am content -- I guess I'd be interested in format if it were astonishing, if I could safely be expected to be blown away by it once I experienced it. But hey, new Josh Neufeld.

* not comics: eight-year-old me is working the phones right now to get an advance copy of this.

* finally, Paul will be joining the scouts next year, in a Conundrum Press book to debut at TCAF 2013 where Michel Rabagliati will be a guest. That's something to look forward to.
