Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the second part of writer James Vance's look back at seminal 1990s Spruce Goose comics company Tekno Comix is here.

* the publisher Chris Staros talks about bringing over Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's League Of Extraordinary Gentleman franchise, and what looks to be a very successful first issue.

* Sean Kleefeld talks to Joe Field about various things related to the comics business.

* not to get all Larry King with this entry, but if you talk to cartoonists about other cartoonists they admire, the name Dan Zettwoch comes up a lot.

* it looks like the standard price for various Viz manga that used to sell for $7.99 or $8.99 will now be $9.99.

* sometimes judging covers is judging covers and not the book by the cover.

* the Amazing Spider-Man newspaper strip has apparently revived the character's marriage. The marriage was ended to reflect the new status quo in the current comic books.

* finally, Marc Mason calls for the Death of New Comics Day. Leaving aside the issue of whether I agree with Marc or not, I think one thing Marc misses that I find interesting about New Comics Day is that it might work much better if the big publishers made a priority of disciplined month to month shipping.
