Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* the next Oliver East book at Blank Slate will be out in January. It's called Berlin And That, and there's a full description and a down-loadable PDF of a few pages here. You should check it out.

* the cartoonist and artist Alex Fellows wrote in to direct my attention to his webcomic, Spain & Morocco.

* Tor will serialize book-length graphic novels on-line, in a deal just announced. Familiar names include Jim Ottaviani, Dan Goldman and Leland Purvis.

* so the great Brendan McCarthy has a Dr. Strange mini-series coming out next year. If this rejected promotional image is any indication of what we're in for, there's at least one Marvel comic we'll all need to buy in 2010.

* it looks like Trevor Von Eeden's Jack Johnson biography The Original Johnson is going into print form at IDW through their deal with ComicMix.

* it also looks like Ivan Brandon has shut down his message board-style forum at the Image Comics site. That was a good little space, with a lot of contributions by Brandon and occasional writer about comics Abhay Khosla.

* thew writer Jon Evans has made a timeline of Vertigo crime book releases, from which we borrow news of these forthcoming books:

+ Luna Park, Kevin Baker, Danijel Zezelj (11-17-09)
+ The Chill, Jason Starr and Mick Bertilorenzi (11-12-10)
+ Bronx Kill, Peter Milligan and James Romberger (03-09-10)
+ Area 10, Christos Gage and Chris Samnee (04-13-10)
+ The Executor, Jon Evans and Andrea Mutti (06-01-10)
+ Fogtown, Andersen Gabrych and Brad Rader (Not Yet Announced)
+ Cowboys, Gary Phillips and Brian Hurtt (Not Yet Announced)
+ Return to Perdition, Max Alan Collins and Terry Beatty (Not Yet Announced)

If that's a line that interests you, you should look at the covers posted to Evans's version of the list.

* at the bottom of this post is the cover to The Invincible Gene Colan, a book to which I contributed a short essay. It benefits the iconic mainstream comic book artist whose name is in the title. You can advance order various editions here.

* finally, the cartoonist Benjamin Marra has announced that his Traditional Comics publishing operation now has a web site, a blog, and a Facebook listing.
