PW: CCS to Publish With Hyperion

Kevin Melrose breaks down a story in the latest issue of Publishers Weekly that indicates James Sturms' Center for Cartoon Studies will be packaging comics to publish with Hyperion. First up in Fall 2006: a Nick Bertozzi-drawn biography of Harry Houdini to be written by Sturm and cartoonist Jason Lutes. Lutes' first major work, Jar of Fools, featured a pair of magicians; both Sturm and Bertozzi have worked on historically-based comics. The partnership calls for two books a year.

Also from Mr. Melrose, an astute pick-up on discrepancies between statements by Joe Quesada and press release info regarding a recent hire on the subject of Marvel's interest in the production of original graphic novels.

Seth's depiction of the town in which the Center is located, in the 1920s. From their web site.
