Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Alenka Figa talks to Meredith Gran.

* a few CR readers have asked me why I haven't made any further commentary on Internet argumentation regarding plot points in the latest Captain America series. In case that doesn't answer the question by itself just reading it typed out like that, it's the usual reason: I have nothing to say I didn't say already. Sorry! Hail Wizard.

* John Chalmers and Sandra Marrs on Rosalie Lightning. The second wave of press on that title has been strong.

* not sure exactly the provenance of this R. Crumb process post or how old it is, but Crumb is nearly always of interest.

* missed this year-old article about Will Eisner's work for the military. It's nicely illustrated.

* not comics: Amid Amidi uses the 75th anniversary to take a look back at the infamous Disney animators strike, a pop-culture moment of great import. While you get cartooning, you don't really get comics, although the use of Disney as a gold standard for everything that comics ever hoped to achieve makes all of Disney history important to comics.

* here's a dark, short comic by Beto.

* they need your 'zines.

* finally, one of those Facebook for-sale links led me to this profile of Jackie Ormes -- so good on you, Facebook.
