Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Andrew Fulton alerts my presence to this opportunity to get a mini-comic from Australia every month for about the price of seven superhero comic books.

image* Barry Moser profiles Flannery O'Connor as a cartoonist. Jog talks to Richard Corben. Someone from 1979 interviews Steranko.

* missed it: Karol Krauser was the lost Superman.

* Lane Williams writes on the Avengers Vs. X-Men event series Marvel is doing right now. It may be a mistaken impression on my part because I don't have a large enough sample, but it seems to me that some fans that pay close attention to that stuff are coming around on that series.

* Lee Konstantinou on Are You My Mother? The Mindless Ones and their commenting crew on LOEG: Century: 2009.

* this week's Eisner Awards have added Tricia Helfer, Samuel T. Anders and Debi Derryberry to a presenters line-up that already included Lynn Johnston, Jonathan Ross and Phil LaMarr. The better the presenters, the worse I feel the next day about my drunken heckling.

* hey, it's a new Oliver East comic.

* Tim O'Shea talks to Aubrey Sitterson. Josh Bell talks to Ian Brill. Chris Arrant talks to David Macho.

* Dean Haspiel will be appearing at his drawing table for much of San Diego Con weekend.

* Michael Grabowski reminds us of the remarkable consistency shown by Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez over their long careers.

* not comics: Seth gives better gifts than you do.

* finally, if I had to live the part of my life that involves enjoying comics over again, I'd make room for collecting sketches and commissioned drawings and original comics art. Doesn't something like this look fun, like it'd be awesome to have something like that waiting for you at a show?
