Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* hey, I liked this: Tucker Stone celebrates the conclusion of Brian Azzarello's 100 Bullets by looking at a bunch of the writer's work here and there in other venues. That's good programming.

* the writer and publisher Dan Nadel could use your help with Milt Gross. That's Dan on the left.

* so I guess that cartoonist Bryan Talbot adopted another artistic persona and released a book through NBM last year? It made one best-of list that I know of, Dan Kois'. I'm not sure why this is noteworthy, as I can think of nothing to be gained by a false artistic persona and people really aren't on their guard about that kind of thing. I guess it's a fairly extravagant stunt that many might find fun on that level.

* not comics: David Lynch animation (via Sean T. Collins)

* finally, here's a story from the Chicago Tribune about the difficulty of selling collectibles, including old comics, in hard times. It's about what you'd expect if you've spent any time around such markets and/or their players: most stuff isn't worth anything despite general, floating claims to the contrary; dealers will play hardball; for the most part the items in question need to have been treated as collectibles as opposed to something you use, and so on. The people that come across as most screwed are those that believe their stuff would be worth a lot of stuff someday because they purchased them during a time when that was the notion in the air.
