Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden are near to completion on How To Read Nancy and need some archival help from some of you nice folks.

* holy crap, it's Kevin Huizenga's next book!

* not comics: Marc Webb's Spider-Man IV: We Make You Feel Really Old. Seriously, Even If You're Like 25 This Will Make You Feel At Least A Little Bit Old has its Peter Parker.

* for some reason, I stopped visiting Robert Boyd's site for a while. I do that sometimes. He's had a bunch of intriguing comics-related blog posts up lately, including this one on abecedaria, this one on the comics of artist Ali Fitzgerald, and this one on comics at a local art space. Sorry, Robert. Sorry, everybody.

* Mr. Boyd also recommends this essay by Max Weintraub on "Representing The Holocaust Through Comics."

* before you take off for the holiday weekend you'll definitely want to download this interview with Kim Thompson about Jacques Tardi and take it with you. Kim knows way more about European comics and speaks way more languages than any podcast titan you'd care to name.

* the writer and critic Ken Parille analyzes a recent piece of accidental fumetti.

* the cartoonist Darryl Cunningham provides references on his recent strip about homeopathy.

* finally, the artist Gene Colan is putting up a bunch of pages from Captain America #601 for sale. Some of the best artists I know own an original Gene Colan.
