Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Neil Gaiman will write a two-part Batman story of some sort to be published in I guess 2009.

* not comics: thoughts on sword and sorcery as a literary subgenre.

* I want to go to the heaven that Gary Panter describes.

* it's been a long, long time since I've seen a decent-sized interview with Robert Crumb, which would make this worth running through a translator at some point, I think.

* more on Muhammed Iqbal's 10-day cartooning seminar (which isn't news) in Pakistan (which makes it much more interesting news given the turmoil in the region concerning the effect of political cartoons.

* the new museum at Angouleme is now scheduled to open in June 2009 rather than a January date that one supposes was to coincide with this year's festival.

* the strip-oriented site Daily Cartoonist does another update on the status of various newspapers' comics pages, still somewhat in flux because of temporary changes made during the Doonesbury hiatus earlier this year.

* finally, here's a piece on Jerry Robinson in Editor & Publisher that gives a pretty fair summary of all his experiences with The Dark Knight.
