Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* via Alan Gardner comes the latest lawyerly response in the battle between the cartoonist who owns a web site and the web site that wants to make that cartoonist work for his own web site, for free. Start with Gardner for a fine summary; you may or may not want to continue. Sheesh, though. Here's a bit of context.

* Petey Otterloop is the patron saint of comics critics.

* Richard Bruton on Back Alleys And Urban Landscapes. Chris Brosnahan on League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century: 2009. Hayley Campbell on Jerusalem. Jog on Gloriana in 2005. Grant Goggans on Palooka-Ville #20. Don MacPherson on a number of books. Greg McElhatton on Crogan's Loyalty. Philip Shropshire on Prophet #24. Rob Clough on The City Troll.

* Graeme McMillan calls attention to the tragedy that is no Hostess Ad omnibus.

* my life is better because Frank Santoro and I cross paths every so often, but I'm not quite sure of the point of this essay. I know I've done shittier things and there are people in comics that think I'm an asshole, and I've spoken out against the Before Watchmen project. Does that make my criticism less valid? I hope not.

* don't let comics ruin your life.

* I'm not much for previews but I went and looked at this Paul Pope preview.

* the writer and comics historian Mark Evanier tells a four-part bedtime story featuring science fiction/comics luminaries Al Feldstein, Ray Bradbury and Julius Schwartz.

* sometimes I just put in a link for my pal Gil Roth.

* somebody I can't tell who it is talks to Marc Bell and Amy Lockhart. Gaius Publius talks to Tom Tomorrow. Jackie Estrada profiles Dave Stevens. Bart Croonenborghs profiles Franquin.

* finally, the nice folks at the FPI Blog would like to drive your attention to the CCS summer slate of classes. And the nice people with the BPRD camp would like you to know about that as well. Kids get everything these days.
