Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* a comic to benefit victims of the recent massive earthquake in Haiti is looking for contributors.

* I bet if I still read a lot of superhero comics, I would think the employment of teaser images pretty cheesy. At something of a remove, I think it's kind of appropriate that these plotlines are hinted at through specific imagery. I can imagine myself as a kid looking at still images of Colonel Logan of the Canadian Resistance Army or something similar and wondering what the hell is going on and enjoying every second.

image* the great R. Fiore talks cartoony vs. realistic comics art.

* if there's a quick-draw competition rule for run-offs, Craig Livingstone has a built-in advantage.

* not comics: go here for Whitney Matheson's report on a fundraiser/attention-getter for the attempt to bring The Diary Of A Teenage Girl onto a New York stage.

* I'm a great fan of this Sub-Mariner poem strip from Evan Dorkin.

* it's hard not to hate the single-letter formatting of this piece, which made the whole thing feel like a memo stolen off of someone's desk, but interview subjects don't come better right now than Ruppert and Mulot.

* the Penny Arcade guys have won a gaming industry award based in part on their gaming-related strip and based in part on their convention and charity work.

* more on that cool-ass Mark Newgarden restaurant mural.

* finally, Hope Larson is doing a project where she talks openly about her process in getting it done. Via.
