Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Mark Evanier writes a timely post on a delicate subject: the fact that so many writers and artists become at risk because they are eternal optimists when it comes to their own talent.

* Alan Gardner picked up on one gentleman's campaign to have Rollin Kirby honored with a stamp. Sounds good to me. Speaking of which, how great is it to have those Bill Mauldin stamps at the post office?

* go, look: Tom Neely's wild-looking Conan art looks like a straight-up graduate of the Kevin O'Neill School Of Berserk Superhero Comics.

* on-line voting has opened for the 2010 Eagle Awards.

* Comics Comics is still trying to raise money for future projects.

* not comics: Borders gets a cash infusion vis-a-vis the bringing on of a new majority stockholder.

* it's hard to put into words how cool it is that Ron Regé Jr. has put up for sale 200 pages from Skibber Bee Bye. We're living in wonderful times.

* a Seth notebook.

* not comics: I take it back: this sounds like a boring, obvious piece of shit.

* my friend Gil Roth kicks in with the first part of his two-part travelogue on TCAF 2010, including an on-the-ferry encounter with Tom Devlin and Dan Clowes. I love the fact that people can go to comics conventions now the same way they go to something like "Taste Of Chicago" -- as part and maybe not even the dominant part of a vacation weekend.

* finally, Sean Collins has another argument he'd like for comics people to have: why do we talk about superhero comics so much? More than the numbers would dictate, even.
