Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the writer James Vance gives first-hand testimony as to what donations and giving of the kind that comes from the comics-related Hero Initiative can mean to a family in need and just generally reeling due to fatal illness.

* the cartoonist Dan Goldman is previewing his book with Michael Crowley, '08: A Graphic Diary Of The Campaign Trail, here. Speaking of publicity efforts, Boom! has released two videos to basically promote their promotions for a comic book they're releasing concurrently through MySpace and with a couple of other deals designed to give it some juice in the marketplace. I thought the comic book was fairly ordinary, but there's no denying that whole company seems really fired up about it.

* here's a nice piece up at PWCW surveying the prospect of comics in the classroom through a special focus on the state of Maryland's program designed to do just that.

* finally, Mike Lynch notes that people can start submitting work for consideration in the NCS Division Awards, which are given out every year at their annual meeting. These are the various categorized awards that are sometimes casually talked about in terms of getting a Reuben to distinguish them from the Cartoonist of the Year honor which is getting the Reuben -- but really they're called the NCS Division Awards and it's more and more common just to stick with that appellation.
