Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* whenever a traditional comics company employs a number, folks stop and listen: NBM says they've sold 350,000 Geronimo Stilton graphic novels through its Papercutz imprint.

* two must-listen interviews out there, if you haven't yet downloaded them. Inkstuds scores a talk with Lorenzo Mattotti, one of the cartoonists that gets recruited for our side in the world's showdown against the evil alien cartoonists. The Comix Claptrap chats with Sammy Harkham, one of my favorite comics talkers and favorite comics people.

* missed it: Brian Basset salutes the space shuttle program.

* I always figured the other members of the Green Lantern Corps made fun of Hal Jordan that humans could be fooled by a green domino mask, and that their own rings had to supply actual protection of their civilian identities.

* so the writer Peter David spent two days at WonderCon wandering around the aisles as the Green Hornet. Mark Evanier even said hi. I spent three days of 1999's Comic-Con International cosplaying as Charles Bukowski, but other than one "Dude. Shower." from Mort Drucker no one noticed.

* Jen Vaughn in Texas.

* wait, did The Spectre really sport facial hair at some point?

* finally, the Washington Post profiles Joao Montanaro, the 14-year-old Brazilian political cartoonist. It's weird that this article satisfied all of my expectations for such a piece, because I don't know that I've read enough articles on the subject to have such expectations.
