Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* it's not exactly a genius move on my part to say this of the reigning Herblock Prize winner and a recent Pulitzer finalist, but Matt Bors is in a good creative place right now.

* did you know there was a Jack Davis Foundation? Did you know they had a call out for entries into a juried show they're running named after Mr. Davis? I'd be interested in that news aside from the opportunity it gives this site to run some beautiful Davis art in this post.

* well, of course Colleen Coover is going to draw Marshal Law -- an illustration of the character, anyway. (I saw that during one of my periodical forays into checking to see if that Nick and Nora Charles drawing she did is a on a t-shirt yet; nope, not yet.)

* that's a lot of young talent sitting around wherever Lewis Trondheim took this picture; young enough I did double-check to make sure I'm not older than both of them combined (not even close, thank goodness; still: young and talented).

* Matt Seneca on the Greatest Comic Of All Time. Scott Cederlund on Daredevil Vol. 1 and the Scott Snyder-written Batman. Hannah Means-Shannon on The Birth Caul.

* Nat Gertler sent along this link to new work from Men In Black's Lowell Cunningham. That we routinely have to look up Lowell Cunningham and Sandy Carruthers just to recall their names -- well, at least I do -- indicates that the proper respect afforded comics creators whose work goes on to fuel massive entertainment properties isn't just some issue about creators from 50 years ago.

* comics-makers, Wil Wheaton is proud to be in your fraternity. Remember that until he has a trade out he has to do push-ups whenever you tell him to, and get you beers.

* Robin McConnell talks to Zak Sally. Some nice person at A Moment Of Cerebus talks to Eric Hoffman.

* I greatly enjoyed seeing this Jay Lynch cartoon from 1971 featuring Chicago's then brand-new McCormick Place. I remember the building of that thing being a pretty big deal for the city.

* here's a preview of a forthcoming Jim Rugg show that instead of blacking out the naughty parts is pretty much all naughty parts.

* what if tens of thousands of people came to see your party but only 23 people chipped in for beer?

* Lucy Tobin muses on one university's establishment of a degree in comics.

* finally, the good folks at DanielClowes.com note the ebay-ing of a beautiful portrait of Enid Coleslaw.
