Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* congratulations to Ted May and Sacha Mardou; congratulations of equal fervor are due Shelton Drum and Linda D'Olivat.

* the cartoonist Rick Veitch is describing the secret history of Marvel's Sentry character in a series of posts at his site. It's been surprisingly fun given how little I'm interested in Marvel's Sentry character.

* I always enjoy seeing these updates from Craig Thompson on the status of his progress on the forthcoming Habibi.

* the artist and cartoonist Frank Santoro provides some notes on Mat Brinkman's Multiforce, maybe the surprise release of the year. I just received the book, and I like it a lot.

* the writer and critic Jeet Heer finds a way to related the Sarah Palin resignation story to comics.

* Jason Thibault presents 23 Ways For A Comic Artist To Survive And Thrive In Any Economy. I keep putting off reading it, but I thought I'd get a link up in the meantime. At the very least, the story points out that I probably need to update a lot of this site's resource material at the end of the year, so I'm making that a goal.

* finally, I totally whiffed on this story about an issue of the comic book The Boys not being sold in Germany because of a swastika on the cover, although I'm not sure where the story is -- if it's a company policy, it sounds like a rational one to me. Marc-Oliver Frisch discusses the law in question.
