Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* IDW will employ Scott Dunbier as special projects editor. That's a great, solid hire.

* Editor & Publisher discusses a Bill Griffith YouTube interview and hypes an upcoming NYC appearance.

* go here to view a gallery of art -- including the watercolor from Batton Lash at left -- that is being donated to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

* a very nice obituary for the late artist Jim Mooney.

* the cartoonist Matt Madden takes a photograph of his work area in anticipation of a similar feature in the forthcoming Best American Comics series volume that will debut his and Jessica Abel's editorial stewardship. I missed this, but Lynda Barry is their first guest editor.

* the web site Guttergeek re-launches with a new design.

* David P. Welsh goes to Columbus and makes a comparison between the Borders and Barnes & Noble he finds there in terms of their manga offerings -- a commenter notes that Borders has a lax order to stock policy that may allow Borders employees to bolster such sections.

* Mark Evanier will moderate a Steve Gerber memorial panel on Saturday morning at NYCC.

* John Jakala writes what is essentially an extended spit-take in reaction to news that certain Dark Horse manga volumes may not sell all that well.

* I missed this, but apparently no one else did: Jack Kirby, Conspiracy Theorist.
