Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* via Sean T. Collins, Chris Ware in GQ on book cover design.

* St. Louis Magazine profiles Jim Lee. I didn't realize that certain elements of the Image story as communicated are still part of the template, so that was interesting.

image* I'm not sure what the hell is going on here, but I certainly enjoy a post about events from years ago with people in costumes in it, and no matter who you are you gotta love that kid jumping in in the bottom corner.

* the official PR for this year's Eisner Awards is out. Voice actor Maurice LaMarche will join Bill Morrison as co-host. I think he'll be there to make fun of everyone who doesn't have as cool a name as Maurice LaMarche, which, let's face it, is just about everyone.

* this post by Robert Stanley Martin on Frank Frazetta sure generated a ton of responses, although I'm not fond of that newest page of comments first posting style. I don't feel any desire to read a bunch of new stuff about Frank Frazetta right is minute, but you folks aren't me!

* I totally missed this comic by Johnny Ryan. Wow. I think he and Josh Simmons should do a flip comic, although I'm also afraid what might happen if pages from their recent comics' efforts were to touch.

* where do you get your ideas from?

* David Brother criticizes the current Marvel strategy with the Fraction/Ba/Moon series Casanova. This kind of thing doesn't bother me anymore, so it's difficult for me to wrap my mind around it.

* "... and then Gary Groth ran into the room and beat the crap out of everyone."

* I guess this is a pretty good list of definitive comics starring the character Daredevil, although the kids today need to find it in their hearts to give some love to Wally Wood. That Daredevil #7 looks better than ever.

* the PictureBox site is now officially open. It doesn't look that different to me than last week about this time, but I guess it's official now and wasn't official then.

* finally, Imprint has an interview with Craig Yoe up.
