Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Johanna Draper Carlson on Adulthood Is A Myth. Todd Klein on BPRD: Hell On Earth Vol. 11. Sean Gaffney on Not Lives Vol. 1. Johanna Draper Carlson on Real Account Vol. 1. Miwa Messer on Rosalie Lightning. Jake Shapiro on Universe So Big #2.

* this is one of those comics-historical things so weird my brain shuts down from too many jokes being processed at the same time.

* various members of team Trouble With Comics write about falling out of love with a creator. For such a question to be possible, there must be some line of thinking out there that loving an artist in comics is forever, and I can kind of see that as being a thing.

* Henry Chamberlain talks to Faith Erin Hicks. J. Caleb Mozzocco talks to Calista Brill. Jerry Smith talks to Tony Isabella.

* by request extra: Noah Van Sciver has a Patreon now. Or I just found out about it.

* that little stuffed bull Bully has evidence of Ladronn drawing J. Jonah Jameson -- I had no idea that character was never drawn by Jack Kirby. It's one of those things that's surprising but you also sort of go, "You know, nothing springs to mind out of all the Kirby images I have in my head." I'm assuming most of you are like me and have thousands of Kirby images in your head. Speaking of JJJ, Brian Cronin notes that Jameson initially paid Peter Parker a lot more money than your memory might say he did.

* finally, how to make money as a cartoonist: real estate.
