Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* my favorite post/article of the day so far: Craig Fischer remembers John Callahan.

* one thing a lot of folks at comics companies used to do -- I'm not certain they do it anymore -- is take vacations right after or even during Comic-Con International if they're not having to attend. Here's a photo-driven report from Chris Oliveros that has little to do with comics but has enough of Chris poking around bookstores and running into Mafalda I can recommend it here. It's like a guest-sequence from Little Nothings except with photos.

* in Newsweek of all places can be found a lovely, short profile of the comic book illustrator Lily Renée Philips.

* one of my favorite comics-interested journalists, Steve Duin, interviews a favorite comics historian, Patrick Rosenkranz, as part of his profile of the new Rand Holmes collection Rosenkranz has done for Fantagraphics. That is an astounding-looking book, one of those miracles of the current comics boom where everything logical says a book like that can't be published but there it is.

* in brightest day, in blackest night, no variant copy of Super-Villain Team-Up will escape my sight... (via Mark Burrier)

* finally, here's a pretty standard big-author profile of Neil Gaiman, in Australia for that cool-sounding performance of an unpublished story with new Eddie Campbell art.
