Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* this story from Brian Hibbs about Marvel Comics is much-traveled at this point but quite nice and worth the time if you haven't read it yet.

image* there are a couple of fine comics-related items in this terrifyingly massive array of William Bendix imagery.

* Scott Edelman has unearthed an invitation to pitch for an anthology from DC Comics, 1979.

* this series of odd books that Mike Sterling's been rifling through is some of the best blogging he's ever done. Up today: a Frank Miller collection that includes The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One.

* the best-sellers from 2009 at Jim Hanley's Universe have been posted: Watchmen, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier, Secret Invasion, Batman: The Killing Joke Special Edition HC, Civil War, Batman: Joker HC, Batman: RIP HC, World War Hulk, Batman: The Long Halloween, Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite, Final Crisis HC, JLA/Avengers, Asterios Polyp, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen III: Century -- 1910, Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader HC, Thor: J Michael Straczynski Premier Volume 2 HC, Superman: Red Son, Green Lantern: Sinestro Corp War Volume 1 HC, Walking Dead Volume 9: Here We Remain, Y -- The Last Man Volume 1: Unmanned.

* not comics: Peter Goodman has apparently bought back his Stone Bridge Press.

* finally, I tend to enjoy it when Johanna Draper Carlson picks on some random comics event and starts cuffing it about the head and shoulders, but sometimes she picks one where I'm more creeped out by the existence of the thing she's criticizing than delighting in her crushing it.
