Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Grace Bello talks to Francoise Mouly. No better interview in comics than Mouly.

* I'm glad to see Boing Boing publish old Denny Eichhorn comics. I think they're fun, and you get to see art like some primetime JR Williams in this installment. It seems a potentially curious choice for their readership, though.

* Tom Hart isolates panels from his forthcoming work about the loss of his daughter, Rosalie Lightning. My first draft of this actually had Tom conflated with Tim Tebow, due to a concurrent Facebook discussion. That has to be the weirdest typo in the history of this site.

* A. David Lewis takes a look at Islam in G. Willow Wilson's work.

* Kevin Bramer on Logbook.

* love for Ms. Marvel, a character connecting with its young readers in a way that's rare for Marvel even given the power of its formula as seen through charactes like Spider-Man.

* Autoptic wins a Minneapolis poll for best festival in that great city. There are going to be a lot of eyeballs on that one this year, for its location on the calendar and the importance of that cartooning community.

* finally, I keep forgetting to mention that newly-minted Pulitzer Prize winner Adam Zyglis recently won this year's Aronson Award for Cartooning With A Conscience, which seems to me would be a lovely award to win.
