Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the writer James Vance has resumed blogging after a mini-break from such activities on-line. He picks up the content-driven ball with a nice run up the middle in a resumption of his Tekno Comix series.

* go here for a fascinating article about an art dealer with whom several experts in comics seem to have deep problems in the "actually has the cartoons he says he has" department. I can't think of anything more deeply and automatically sad than original comics art forgeries.

* in a long, frequently amusing post, Christopher Allen and Alan David Doane go after the 2010 Eisner nominees, category by category.

* missed it: a profile of the drink and draw night enjoyed by many Denver cartoonists. (thanks, John P.)

* here's a post I missed about one person's experience teaching comics workshops. Here's an intriguing newspaper article I missed on Mat Johnson's comics classes at the University of Houston. Robert Boyd brought the latter to my attention.

* not comics: here's another post I missed where Larry Young asks you to consider helping him save the restaurant where he and Richard Starkings have their yearly pow-wows.

* did you hear from me when John Byrne submitted a cover to the Covered blog? If not, that's yet another one on which I whiffed.

* not comics: I don't read Variety. Have they always been gigantic douchebags? Accusing people of bad journalism because they don't accept your spin on the matter and promote it to your satisfaction seems like atrocious behavior to me. When that spin is that you're restructuring your bottom line even though you're still profitable and making your talent take a shortfall that's apparently not necessary for them to take, you are a double-douchebag. Have fun spending away the last of your brand's goodwill and inherent market position, fellas.

* finally, this Harvey Comics letterhead might be the best comics-related letterhead they've posted at this site. (thanks, Devlin)
