Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I couldn't find a specific link, but there's an interview with Keith Knight on the top of this site right now.

* the interviewer Tim O'Shea has a piece up with cartoonist and convention organizer Dustin Harbin about the forthcoming Heroes Con. One of the more interesting stories about the events part of the comics calendar is how these well-run regional shows have fairly locked into place as a kind strong second-tier in one's con-going year: Seattle is another show like Charlotte's.

* the artist Sean Phillips' personal projects are more impressive than my professional projects.

* three folks sent me links to this on-line preview of the complete black and white Zot!, which likely means someone big had a it first and I apologize to that person. I like those comics quite a bit.

* here's a profile of Dave Sim's Cerebus, a comic book series that doesn't get profiled a lot anymore seeing as it's been completed for a while. The one amusing thing in there for me was the thought that Sim was immediately vilified in the comics press -- immediately meant six to eight months only 15 years ago. Mostly I remember everyone being worried for Sim the first couple of weeks after Cerebus #186 came out, as if a classmate of your had done some really shocking and perhaps worrisome in Algebra class.

* the writer and artist J. Caleb Mozzocco talks about some of his aborted project back from when he was a teenager. I had at least one of those, too, with an artist friend. I think it was about the place where magic and science meet. Magic and Science Denny's, maybe.

* missed it: I forget where I found a link to this series earlier this morning, but it's the latest a series of remembrances of another 1990s publisher, this time Defiant.

* finally, Paul Karasik loses a beard and gains a book.
