Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Alex Dueben finishes up his oral history of Wimmen's Comix with a second part. Part one is here. Hard to imagine anything more fun if there's some Friday afternoon downtime at work today than to dig into those two giant and welcome posts.

* here's an awards program about which I know nothing; there are a lot of good cartoonists on their short list, though.

* Aug Stone profiles Hanco Kolk. Evan Narcisse profiles Ta-Nehisi Coates. J. Caleb Mozzocco talks to James Sturm.

* Chris Arrant profiles Comic Book Women.

* I hope things turn out well for this guy. I sometimes wonder about the karmic debt comics owes all those people lied to about the medium's collectibility.

* I don't know how I ended up there, but these kind of platitude-driven articles about a damaged industry like publishing fascinate me because they make profit from a banal pivot away from real pain.

* finally, Matthias Wivel on that horrible Charlie Hebdo editorial.
