Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* FPI sorts out the Guy Delisle blog situation. It's not a very dramatic situation, but you get to look at Guy Delisle art so it's all good.

* Craig Thompson and Fabio Moon conduct the most genial blog war ever.

* I would imagine that if you were to follow only one link today, you might want to make it to this post featuring a letter Charles Schulz sent to Walt Kelly in 1954. If you have time for a bunch of posts, all of the links that Chris Butcher provides today are to fresh, off-the-beaten-path web locations.

* the comics historian and pride of Champaign, Illinois RC Harvey talks about death in comic strips, bringing into the conversation Bill Blackbeard's argument that death made adventure strips possible.

* so apparently the Frank Miller Batman vs. Al Qaeda project Batman: Holy Terror will feature a Batman-like character and come out from another publisher. I don't mind what that does to the comic, but I know I'm going to be sick of reading analysis that focuses on that character really being Batman.

* Dan Nadel writes in positive fashion about two recent Dark Horse reprint volumes.

* I like industry super-veteran Eric Reynolds' post about Comic-Con International so much I'm pulling it out here as well as featuring it in the Collective Memory post. It's very calm, very rational, very Reynolds.

* not comics: the Library of Congress just sent out a press release on the occasion of their posting this massive set of jazz-related photos.

* finally, Gene Yang pees pants; readies Frog Man tale.
