Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* Secret Acres announced that Eamon Espey's Songs Of The Abyss will make its debut at BCGF along with a live performance following the show of an adaptation of his story "Ishi's Brain" in collaboration with Lisa Krause of the Black Cherry Puppet Theater the night before. That sounds incredibly elaborate and intense, plus even if you're not there you can eventually buy the comic when it comes out in November.

* John Porcellino has a new batch of material up at Spit And A Half. I can't imagine anything more exciting than getting back into mail-order at this later date. Print 4-ever.

* I will probably do an OTBP on this one at some point as well, but Salgood Sam is re-releasing the first issue of his Revolver one-man anthology, and is offering incentives regarding its order both for attendees of Expozine and people that order it from him via his site.

* Dark Horse will publish a print version of Cameron Stewart's fine webcomic, Sin Titulo. I've enjoyed that comic when I've read it on-line and I'm curious as to both how it reads all at once and how it reads on paper.

* more Steve Ditko.

* Ian MacEwan wrote in to note that Connor Willumsen apparently won't be doing any work on a Wolverine MAX title beyond six pages in the first issue, an assignment from which he asked his name be removed. I had no idea Willumsen was attempting such a gig; he's an interesting artist. I'll certainly try to spot those pages if I see that book in a comic book shop.

* DC is apparently going to spin off some of that Owl-oriented stuff from recent Scott Snyder-written comics starring Batman into their own series. Speaking of DC, I clicked on a link for a "get started" type thing from their main web site, and got this page, which doesn't seem to explain or unpack much of anything.

* it isn't comics, but this single work of art from cartoonist Jesse Reklaw sure looks like something.

* look at these lovely Ed Piskor table of contents pages.

* new books at the Domino store.

* here are photos of a French edition of Alec Longstreth's Basewood, which will be more widely available come mid-November.

* here's a bunch of new licenses announced by SuBLime.

* finally, I guess there's a paperback edition of the Complete Calvin And Hobbes slipcover edition now. I can't imagine that being anything other than a great thing, and I wonder what impact having that work out there in complete form is having on cartoonists now entering their early 20s.
