Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Clickwheel re-launches and emphasizes their 2000 AD offerings. At least I think it's a re-launch. Man, do I suck at covering digital comics.

* these photos from a 1974 comics convention are totally bad-ass, plus: there's a mystery. If I were Joe or Frank Hardy, my first step would be to lift some fingerprints. Seriously, have you ever watched their TV show? It's available on Netflix through the Watch Now option. Those guys were always lifting fingerprints.

* Salim Hamdan, comics critic. Granted the cartoon's about him. This comments thread could get interesting.

* speaking of comments threads, the Comics Comics gang has sort of set up camp in Jog's week-in-comics post to discuss Howard Chaykin's Punisher War Journal work.

* the great Eddie Campbell makes Tucker Stone's heart go pitter-pat, pitter-pat

* people still love many things about comics.

* the writer Chris Mautner returns to his own dedicated games and comics site with a strip interview two-fer: Richard Thompson and Darrin Bell. As many of you may have noticed, I'm fond of Richard Thompson's work, and Bell was the cartoonist that I think gained most during Doonesbury's recent hiatus.

* comics creator portraiture battle: Charlie Chu at SDCC in a nice flickr set v. Seth Kushner, in advance of his book. Okay, they're not really fighting.

* the first time through I wrote "comics creature" instead of "comics creator." Deep issues = funny.

* the writer Kelly Sue DeConnick pens a short essay about her love for women + mythology in comics form, and reveals that her mental clutter is better organized than my important personal papers.

* Joe Chips reaches on-line cartoon #365.

* Mort Todd notes a comics-related outcome to the Bruce Ivins anthrax case.

* finally, former DC/Vertigo editor Casey Seijas is heading up the comics/movie coverage at MTV's Splash Page. I like it when people in comics get the gigs concerning comics as opposed to it going to the guy at the company that reads a lot of comic books.
