Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I nearly missed this: Shel Dorf nominations are open.

image* Sean Rogers profiles Michael DeForge.

* the cartoonist Nate Powell is right I think in that I imagine the March book will do well generally and that premium offerings with that title will sell out quickly.

* I don't remember ever seeing these two photo-covers for Marvel adaptations of movie musicals.

* there's a Tim Sievert take on Prince Valiant here. I would totally love a resource that told me where to go look at various comics artists doing copyright-challenged comics. It's intriguing to me to see artists apply their styles to character with strongly established "home" styles because of the chance you might get to see the original work with new eyes. It's problematic in a way, because my interest seems to super-fizzle after that. It's like when Seth drew the X-Men for that one issue of Coober Skeber: I liked it, but I didn't have any desire to see more.

* Roger Langridge is posting a convention's worth of sketches: here, here, here, here, here, here and here. There are probably even more posts up on that site by now.

* not comics: here are some Zak Sally illustrations for sale.

* finally, Richard Sala and a pair of classics.
