* First Second did its Fall 2017 cover reveal through Entertainment Weekly, including expected hit Spinning.

image* I keep forgetting to mention this, but Graeme McMillan had a nice, short piece up at Hollywood Reporter on 2000AD reprinting its late '80s/early '90 magic-child-of-promise series Luke Kirby as The Journal Of Luke Kirby. Like other works pulled into wider exposure from the firmament that is the Harry Potter series success, the Luke Kirby material shares a lot of elements with that much more famous set of works.

* finally, one of the benefits of going to Fantagraphics' 40th birthday party last weekend was catching up with a bunch of artists. I worked with Pat Moriarity for about two years when he art directed The Comics Journal. He's a very talented cartoonist, and in August launched a graphic novel project featuring The Gits that sounds like it's both right up his alley and the kind of thing that will make Pat stretch a bit, as with two chapters about Emiliano Zapata.
