Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I hope even if you're not able or inclined to give that you spend some time with writer James Hudnall's GoFundMe campaign for a look on how hard it can be for someone in the arts to recover from a devastating illness or injury. One reason why it's so important that the comics industry be as ethical rewards- vs. exploitation-wise as possible is that in many cases there's not a huge pool of money going to creators to help make up the difference between good times and bad.

* Sean Gaffney on Haganai: I Don't Have Many Friends Vol. 10. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Swampmen. Henry Chamberlain on This Is Warhol. Richard Bruton on Pirates Of Pangaea Vol. 1 and Hitsville UK #3. Jerry Smith on What If? Alex Hoffman on Beauty and Mutiny Bay. Tasha Robinson on some new comics. Todd Klein on Astro City #18.

* Sean Kleefeld goes and sees Scott McCloud on tour and pulls a part of something he said for a short essay.

* not comics: Jillian Tamaki draws Les Miserables.

* I hope someday someone will write Chris Schweizer a big check to do some Teddy Roosevelt comics. Man oh man.

* that is a heck of a piece of comics art, and it's hard to imagine any era that would be particularly appealing.

* Evan Dorkin will only be doing a few shows this year. That's too bad; he's a great convention guest and I love having every chance to see him. Another all-time favorite, Roger Langridge, provides an update on at least one show he's doing and what he's been up to generally.

* this is a fun article on sound effects from Ben Towle.

* Zak Sally is back in virtual business.

* finally, Marc Bernardin offers up some advice as to how add greater diversity to your stories.
