Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* this old-school Frank Santoro blog post is a blast.

* this cartooned Mickey Mouse advertisement sure is something.

* correspondence with Basil Wolverton from more than a half-century ago. I don't even save e-mails.

* not comics: aw, that's really cute. How has Metamorpho avoided a memorable re-do/re-launch/re-imagination the last quarter century? Even Element Girl got a serious-comics makeover, and she was like a nice lady doing a Metamorpho impersonation.

* some nice person at TFAW.com interviews Colleen Coover. Joe Gordon talks to Daniel Humphry and Will Elliott.

* not comics: the Turtle Creek Olympics results are in, although I'm waiting for the drug testing results before celebrating a damn thing.

* sometimes you think you're a hardcore comics fan and then you find out you're not.

* Sean Kleefeld reprints a letter from Bob Ingersoll about the Fantastic Four incorporating. There was a time in my life when I had an inexhaustible appetite for stuff like this. Sort of miss it, sort of don't.

* J. Caleb Mozzocco talks about the relaunched Kid Eternity in his link round-up. He doesn't make it sound like a lot of fun. I always thought that was kind of a slam dunk property, but that's probably because I think it would be super-funny to read a comic book about a 15-year-old girl staying home from prom so that she can get drunk with Li Po, Duffy and Sweeney and Dorothy Parker. My own family wouldn't buy that comic.

* Rob Clough on Disrepute and DNR. Philip Shropshire on Creator Owned Heroes #2. Sean Gaffney on Book Girl And The Wayfarer's Lamentation.

* Sean Kleefeld attempts a restoration of a Mark Waid Captain America from about a dozen years ago.

* on the importance of Superman's shorts.

* we all have a crafty friend like James Jean, just probably not that talented.

* finally, please don't be a dick to your comics store. Cancel that subscription folder/box/drawer/shelf; don't let it just fade away.
