Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* a minor shake-up on the ComicsPro board. Chris Powell of Lone Star Comics resigned his vice-president position and board position. Calum Johnston of Strange Adventures in Halifax will take the board seat. Gary Dills of the Laughing Ogre, Ohio/Virginia, will take over the vice-presidency.

* the writer J. Caleb Mozzocco takes a look at a dream-driven Tarzan comic book from the early 1970s. If you ever want to invest some reading time into a bunch of fun, goofy comics in a slightly different action-adventure genre than mainstream American superheroes, you could do much worse than those 1970s Tarzan efforts.

* not comics: this seems really important and slightly scary.

* here's a list of titles to supplement the recent Jog/Tucker Stone "Desastre Hurlant" review-a-palooza. I think everyone needs to stop publishing comics for a decade or so, so that I can catch up.

* Little Orphan Annie = Hope

* not comics: I'm not a gamer, but I enjoyed this short post from someone criticizing the orientation of the original Dungeons and Dragons game.

* the writer Steven Grant takes a look at why writers are paid by the page, which is a pretty good question if you stop and think about it.

* not comics: the Thursday and Sunday passes for this July's Comic-Con International in San Diego are selling out quickly. There are great hotels available for Thursday and especially Wednesday night, and in some ways I can imagine a one-day trip being better than a four-day one. Go down Wednesday, stay at the Hilton, go to the Padres game when people are at preview night, meet up with your friends, do one solid all day, open to close, at the show Thursday, move to the Holiday Inn on the Bay, hang out Thursday night and go to one or two comic book parties and then the late-night bar drink-ups, wake up Friday morning and go to the airport.

* finally, I'm not sure exactly what the hell's going on here in this video, but I enjoyed it.
