Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked: Publishing News



By Tom Spurgeon

* Ryan Sands at Youth In Decline shares details on Frontier #8, featuring the work of Anna Defloria. Looks great.

* I'm not sure that I'd seen the cover for Rosalie Lightning, Tom Hart's sure-to-be-heartbreaking memoir, before this article.

* the great Tom Gauld announced he'll be doing comics for the magazine New Scientist. More Tom Gauld in the world is a great thing, and I'm a sucker for science jokes.

* this column tends to be for material that is going to come out at some future date, but I totaly missed word that Rotland Press did a tabloid of articles about the Charlie Hebdo matter, proceeds benefiting the CBLDF.

* Stan Lee's graphic memoir has an October release date.

* there's a lovely-sounding conference today in NYC concerned with French comics publishers putting more work into the hands of North American audiences. I know this has been a big concern of theirs, and that their ministry of culture has even spent some money in this direction. The model of course is the success Japan had turning its comics industry into an international export of note.

* here's an article about forthcoming comics works from Metropolitan, including a book about Edward Snowden by Ted Rall.

* pretty sure I recommended or will recommend this Evan Dorkin essay in a "random story update" at some point this week, but it's worth pointing out there's some information here about the next Beasts Of Burden one-short, or at least the potential for one.

* finally, Nate Powell talks about his forthcoming collection of early works, You Don't Say. Powell's work has been scattered about a bit, and it took him a while to find market traction that such a big seems like a very good idea. It should be interesting to see how well IDW does with the book.
