Random Comics News Story Round-Up
*
this seems like a smart, classy way to get around the dilemma of not wanting to draw Marvel or DC characters at a convention, particularly one like Heroes Con where a significant part of the culture is drawing, period, including sketches of mainstream comics characters. Then again, it shouldn't surprise considering the source.
* Rob Steibel
compares some original Marvel Comics color to some re-colored collection and the original comic beats the newer page half to death it's so not even a contest. We really need to switch our entire culture to orient itself to rich, scanned-in work for all but a few exceptions, and the Fantagraphics/Barks strategy when we don't.
* not comics:
pretty sure I'm going to hell for laughing when I saw this.
* Johnny Bacardi on
a bunch of different comics. Rob Clough on
Paying For It. Bob Temuka on
Midnight Surfer. Greg McElhatton on
Only Skin. One of the
Trouble With Comics guys reviews
Supreme #64. Sean Gaffney on
Puella Magi Madoka Magica Vol. 1. Grant Goggans on
Slaine: Lord Of Misrule. Sean T. Collins on
Jerusalem. Rob Wells on
Champions Classic Vols. 1-2. Brian Hibbs crushes a lot of comics
here. Ed Sizemore on
NonNonBa.
* not comics: Dean Haspiel
walks through the correspondence for an illustration assignment that didn't work out. This is actually a fairly genial exchange, and there's a 50 percent kill fee, and it's still depressing.
*
this is slightly adorable.
* Dan Morrill talks to
Micah Baldwin.
* not comics:
hearken back to the days of commercial art empires. Those probably weren't great days, but they sure were different. I bet some nice-looking work came out of those places, too.
* David Brothers wants to know if you want
a new comics interview podcast.
* finally, I love
this early '60s Marvel stationery, plus that their phone number had the word "Templeton" in it. That is a wonderful-sounding word.
