Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* this nearly gave me an aneurysm trying to figure it out, and I'm not sure it isn't already out of date, but maybe you'll have better luck or it will put you on the look-out for something in the future. The prize sounds awesome.

image* as one of those firmly behind the comics shelf-porn movement, where photos of shelves stuffed with comics by various collectors and professionals are shown to the world in order to impress and amaze and even amuse, I'd like to point out this rare instance of poster-porn from I think an ex-Wizard staffer's office as it's getting cleared out. This is going to potentially sound very Mike Sterling of me, but I would probably decorate my office in nothing but framed, early-1980s comics promotional posters if I had a dozen of them as opposed to two or three.

* here's a piece I nearly missed entirely that asserts that the primary reaction of the Arab media to the recent political unrest in Iran can be found in their cartoons.

* finally, a bit of summer-shopping not comics: did you know you could buy Arthur Rackham-illustrated shoes? Because I sure didn't.
