Missed It: Madden and Abel Become Best American Comics Series Editors

A lot of cartoonists seemed to know about this, although I sure didn't, and checking with Matt Madden (nice enough to e-mail in from Spain) it's true: the cartoonists and comics educators Matt Madden and Jessica Abel have taken over for former Comics Journal and Punk Planet Editor Anne Elizabeth Moore on the Best American Comics series from Houghton-Mifflin. The married Abel and Madden are a well-known arts comics power couple, as much as such a thing exists, as well as highly respected cartoonists each with a little more than a decade of publishing through various venues behind them. They are the very definition of well connected insiders. It should be interesting to see what they do with their stint, which I understand will be at least two volumes.
