Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Leroy Douresseaux on Blue Exorcist Vol. 13.

* the Chicago Tribune profiles Jessica Campbell, Aaron Renier and their library.

* until reading this I was not aware of a Kodansha Comics Manga Gallery and really should have been. That sounds like something to see.

* Ben Katchor's Cheap Novelties made this list of best book related to food.

* I am not tired in the least of Phoebe Gloeckner interviews related to the fact a quality adaptation of her mighty hybrid work Diary Of A Teenage Girl is this summer's smart movie with controversial elements. Here's a good one right here.

* not comics: here's a reminiscence of the post-war era for magazine illustration.

* not comics: the Massive clothing line may already be my favorite comics-related merchandising endeavor ever. That stuff looks really great.

* keep forgetting to link to this article on an increasing appetite for censorship among the American populace. I think that element is always there and goes up and down. The interesting thing about right now from my perspective seems to be there are criticisms of free speech absolutism that have weight with audiences on the right and other that have fans on the left.

* this Becky Cloonan cartoon made me laugh.

* finally, Zac Gorman draws Ginny Weasley.
