Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* here's the transcript of Mike Richardson's well-received keynote address to last weekend's ComicsPRO annual meeting.

image* Leif Peng has a really nice-looking bunch of cartoons up here from the late Blaine MacDonald.

* Box Brown draws an Internet date for the OC Weekly.

* holy crap, the Alley Award was the greatest-looking physical object ever!

* David Brothers has a very long post up here about the scans of Marvel comic books available out there and what various clues about the nature of those scans tell the amateur comics sleuth about where they may be coming from. I've never thought about it before, but where the ones in question came from makes total sense.

* these Tom Scioli diary entries at TCJ about his time at Angouleme have been pretty great. Really, those diaries were the best addition to the comics commentary Internet last year. They've been consistently strong throughout.

* Alan Gardner over at Daily Cartoonist caught wind of two NCS award honors going out in May: the Silver T-Square to Steve McGarry; the Golden Key to Stan Goldberg. Gardner notes that Goldberg goes into the organization's Hall Of Fame with that honor.

* not comics: we live in an age of wonders.

* wow, that is a great photo of Jack Kirby.

* Nina Stone on Winter Soldier #1 and Conan The Barbarian: Queen Of The Black Coast #1. Dan Morrill on The Army Of God. J. Caleb Mozzocco on various comic-shop comics. Paul Rainey on CLiNT #14. Todd Klein on Justice League #4-5, Aquaman #4-5, The Flash #4-5 and BPRD: War On Frogs. Sean T. Collins on Optic Nerve #12. Richard Bruton on Toasty Cats #6. Kelly Thompson on Glory #23.

* finally, I missed the birthdays of Prince Valiant and Cul De Sac this week. Happy birthday, Otterloops.
