Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked: Publishing News



By Tom Spurgeon

* Dover's Puma Blues collection, probably the most anticipated of their re-releases in my circle of comics pals, has an amazon listing that says mid-September.

* this is ridiculously old news if you're a comber of the comics sites but perhaps new to some of you that only intersect with that world here. The artist Ross Campbell, possessed of a fine visual imagination, has redesigned the Jem characters for a forthcoming licensed comics project at IDW. I'm sure there's something wrong with that sentence technically -- it's news that's been picked to death, but it's fine-looking image. I think this is much newer: Kelly Thompson will write the comic book.

* not comics: Sean Howe's next book will be about Tom Forcade. What a great choice.

* Sean Kleefeld notes that Cafe con Leche ended about three weeks ago in a pair of pieces (1, 2). I'm glad he caught that because I sure didn't. He also notes the diminished number of mixed-race couples on the newspaper comics page. All best wishes moving forward to Charlos Gary.

* Isabel Greenberg describes her next project as a sort-of sequel to The Encylcopedia Of Early Earth.

* Nick Spencer and Steve Lieber will be doing a series at Image. That pair worked on Superior Foes Of Spider-Man together; that was a very well-liked comic. Lieber's participation interests me because unlike writers who straddle the fence between work at Image and work with other publishers, the speed with which artists work means their commitments tend to be very definitive in terms of how their time will be organized for the foreseeable future.

* this is a nice-looking Wu-Tang Clan drawing Ben Marr will be providing Hip Hop Family Tree Vol. 3.

* hey, look at the Noah Van Sciver cover.

* finally, March Book 2 is at the printers.
