Major Press, Major Cartoonists

There are a few notable press pieces up right now covering the alternative-arts portion of the comics field. Cartoonist James Sturm is writing Slate's work diary feature this week, providing a glimpse into his efforts starting the Center for Cartoon Studies. Through Egon we learn that Newsweek's web site not only covers the new Robert Crumb book, it provides readers with a slideshow of photos and art. Adrian Tomine is the subject of a feature in U.S. News and World Report that's massive by their standards or at least from what I remember reading the library's copy during high school study hall. Lots of tidbits of interest, particularly in the Sturm and Tomine pieces, including a sales figure for Tomine's popular Optic Nerve comic book.
