Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Robin McConnell talks to Laura Knetzger.

* gross.

* missed it: Paul Gravett profiles Gary Panter.

* here's a nice interview with the late Geoffrey Hayes, the TOON Books mainstay and one-time comics-making collaborator with his brother Rory Hayes. I kind of adored the Benny and Penny books that he did for TOON; they had a quiet intensity that the best kids works have. I also quite liked his color sense, which was warm but did not call attention to itself. I'm glad that TOON gave him a nice public platform for his final work years.

* James Whitbrook recommends Wonder Woman comic books to read. I like those junky super-spectaculars for a wide range of approaches.

* fine Howling Commandos filled post by Bully about D-Day.

* finally, Bruce Canwell talks three strips that have fallen into obscurity. I only had memories of seeing one of them.
