Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Alan Gardner has a nice, concise round-up of pertinent NCS Weekend links, including the flat-out, actual comics industry news that Tom Richmond slips into Jef Keane's place as the society's president.

image* Alan David Doane at Trouble With Comics could use the favor of your checking out his eBay auctions. Doane always offers premium material in these things.

* the writer Sean Witzke has a Jeet Heer-style post of various observations up here. That Dave Sim put on display one of the sharpest developmental curves in the history of comics is a point worth noting, I think.

* the writer and critic Rob Clough talks about the unique indy-comics tradition of the forthcoming Heroes Con through the prism of a few of the comics he's discovered there.

* Kevin Czap reveals his own private comics canon.

* Graeme McMillan suggests some work from Oni that one might like to read. I agree with Graeme that Andi Watson is one of those underrated cartoonists whose ever work is interesting and for whom we should always be slightly worried that that the industry isn't doing well enough by them.

* finally, over at The Panelists, plans to toss a party for First Second. The gifts will involve words.
