Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* an interview with Tapedeck's Alax on his obsession with comics and some of his favorites. I'm not even young enough to fake that I know who this is or how to refer to him without sounding like my Dad used to sound referencing my stuff in 1985, but I found it to be an amusing short interview.

* go, watch: Inside Deep Six.

* I have no idea if this is sort-of new or really, really old, but an e-mail from Franz Fuchs draws my attention to this page about the book Partners For Life on Mike Esposito and Ross Andru, which has a lot of publishing behind the scenes in addition to material about the artistic duo. Included is an essay about the Superman/Spider-Man crossover.

* it must be nice to be super-rich. I'm still saving up for The Complete Far Side.

* if you haven't been paying attention, and there's no reason you should have been, the Comic-Con International Hotel registration page through Travel Planners has been putting more and more single-day reservations back on the site (or on the site for the first time). What happens I think is that a lot of people are dumping their double rooms at the same time some hotels are giving extra rooms to the show. There are sometimes unfortunate reasons for people having rooms to dump, such as people wanting to snatch up as many rooms as possible just because they're a scarce commodity, but there are also good reasons for this, like an artist finding out their book won't be out, or a wedding popping up on the schedule. It's a tough system all around. Anyway, if you're going to that show and you don't have a room that you like, check out that site every morning. Even though I got in on the first day, my final hotel itinerary was strung together from two reservations I made recently at two different hotels right across the street from one another. Also, if I remember how the airlines work, we're right in the middle of a sweet spot for air travel reservations.
