Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Michalis Limnios talks to Pat Moriarity. What a fun cartoonist Moriarity is.

* Paul O'Brien on Uncanny Avengers Vol. 1. Johanna Draper Carlson on War Of Streets And Houses. Jessica S. on In Real Life. Alex Hoffman on Saint Cole. Chris Schweizer on 555 Character Drawings.

* not comics: here's a bunch of gifs from movies made by that physical-acting genius of the 20th Century, Buster Keaton. Keaton did all of these things live, which is impressive in and of itself, but the stunts were almost always funny and moved the story along in some small way. There's a comics connection in that we forget that one of the joys of early cinema was just watching people run around and do, this depiction of physical activity. I think it's worth going back and seeing what art forms like comics did very well during surges in popularity in order to make sure that the medium is still connecting that way, or if they aren't, there's potentially a good reason.

* I see a lot of these comic book cover process posts, but rarely for a comic as old as this post features (Crime Patrol #11) and even more rarely for an all-time personal favorite of mine like that one is. That cover breaks a bunch of comic book cover rules, but it does so joyously and to handsome effect.

* finally, Stuart Warren rings the bell for comics scholarship.
