Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* J. Caleb Mozzocco on Superheroes: My First Dictionary. Rob McMonigal on My Neighbor Seki Vol. 1. James Kaplan on Ei8ht #1. Maria Russo on Macbeth.

* Christopher Murray writes about the neglect that comics studies has received over the years and how some folks are fighting for change. This one has been way better received than the last comics-related piece in the Guardian.

* you can have Ralph Bakshi's Herriman for less than $20K right this very second. That's a nice price on one of those.

* not comics: I always thought a lot of Jim Starlin's work would make fine film/tv projects, just because the broad strokes have a lot of clarity. It all depends on the execution, of course.

* this sounds like a Five For Friday: characters in comic books that didn't start out in the comic books. So like if a character started on a radio adaptation and worked his way back to the comics.

* Michael Cavna talks to Derf. Jeffrey Renaud talks to Kieron Gillen. Paul Gravett profiles Maurice Vellekoop. Russ Burlingame talks to Tom Peyer.

* finally, this is the loveliest thing I've seen all day.
