Bundled, Tossed, Untied & Stacked: Publishing News

By Tom Spurgeon

* Ken Parille reminds us that a Chris Ware conversations book is coming out.

* don't know its exact provenance, but this new cover for Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron is sure handsome.

* Jerry Moriarty is an extremely admirable artist in terms of staying true to a sophisticated vision that's representative in some way of the human experience. I'm glad that Fantagraphics is publishing his work. That can't be an easy sell considering how much work is out there. If we ever get to the point where none of our leading publishers publish work that's admirable but hard to sell we're going to be a much different art form. We're slowly moving in that direction.

* I miss a lot of publication news and it's so spread out now that I feel my reach is even less now than it was five years ago. I'm doubly confused that when publishers do exclusive announcements with a site they don't drive attention to those articles more directly. Anyway, I was searching for the phrase "2018 graphic novel" wondering if that might yield something I missed, and it did: Shadow Life, from writer Hiromi Goto and artist Celine Loup.

* finally, Slate's preview of a chapter lets us in on James Sturm's Off Season coming out from D+Q in 2018.
