Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the newspaper industry bible Editor & Publisher takes note of a couple of recent comics crossovers.

* congratulations to The Jack Kirby Collector on celebrating its 50th issue in print. No matter how much you revere Kirby, this is a highly unlikely achievement. Buy them all.

* the prominent retailer Brian Hibbs talks up the recent ComicsPRO meeting in Las Vegas.

* as expected, here's a post about the Comic Foundry print issue #2 launch party the other night complete with multiple photos. It looks like most of these people went home and were immediately grounded for sneaking off to an alcohol party.

* the writer Clifford Meth offers a short and concise take on who exactly created Wolverine and how.

* Jacob Covey notes that the city of Seattle is making Ruth Bellthomaz clean up the property she owns next to Fantagraphics Books' office in Seattle. If you've ever been there, you know what I'm talking about.

* the writer Dick Hyacinth has more on superhero comics and their relationship to the idea of plot advancement as a primary inducement.

* the retailer and writer Chris Butcher provides major shelf porn with a stitched-together photo of all of The Beguiling's racked manga.

* Kim Thompson has more Krazy Kat tributes from kids.

* here's a single post from which you can access the TOON Books previews for their Fall 2008 line-up.

* finally, as I hope I closed my jaw long enough to at least mention the other day, there's some severe criticism about that giant Carl Barks set coming over here in an English-language edition; no surprise that Metabunker has the smartest, most concise article detailing those objections.
