Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I added several photos and a few more comments to my Heroes Con report. I forgot to load a good images program on my tiny netbook before taking off for Charlotte, so the previous report was very art-light. On the other hand, I'm a pretty terrible photographer.

* much linked-to today will be this happy piece by Rachel Cooke on discovering comics later in life, in support of the new Jonathan Cape/Comica graphic short story contest.

* there's a new post at Next Issue! for the first time in several months, this one on photo-referencing in comics art.

* not comics: via Gil Roth's excellent weekly "Unrequired Reading" feature comes three fascinating links: one about a Brimfield Army Desk, which I will own and work on in heaven; another on trying to find the model for Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks"; a third a Stephen Fry speech on the joys of art.

* another beautiful cartoonist letterhead found by Devlin Thompson, this one from Dik Browne. And here's one for Viz.

* James Vance remembers Kate Worley.

* here's a report on this year's Phoenix show, which everyone I've talked to enjoyed.

* this video of Dustin Harbin playing with Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer's Emily is freakishly adorable. Plus, check out that kids comics section.

* did I forget to link to this Frank Santoro rant about the era of the show?

* finally, there's a bunch of new audio stuff up at Jamie Coville's site. You'll have to poke around, which should be easy if you do it today and kind of a pain in the ass if you find this link at some later date. I have no idea why this stuff isn't accessible through a permalink at this point in time, but to each his own. Certainly there's a ton of material there.
