Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* here's a lengthy article that everyone loves on autobiographical cartoons. Here's a lengthy piece on social-justice themes in the Superman radio show that I don't know that anyone except one CR reader knows about. Here's a bunch of those shows.

image* it's Friday, and if you're looking for Friday things to do, why not use some precious work time to do something as completely indulgent as looking at some Rich Tommaso pages?

* Dominic Umile on Fishtown. Some nice person named Darren on Untold Tales Of Spider-Man. David Cronenberg on Dark Knight Rises. Glen Weldon on The Underwater Welder. Danny Djeljosevic on Monsters.

* this person was nice enough to send me a link to their OTBP comic, but for the life of me I can't remember the hook for my keeping the link beyond maybe reviewing it. But take a look, it might be something you want, I don't know.

* not comics: this seems like it would be a good thing for major comics interviews.

* this Ross Campbell drawing of the Ninja Turtles is pretty cool. I must have nicked that from Sean T. Collins.

* Sean Edgar talks to Jeff Smith. Zack Smith talks to Thomas Herpich.

* I was going to include this trailer for a comic related to food in the video parade this week, but couldn't find a way to embed it, so here you go. We're flat out not allowed to embed the Stan Lee suing Marvel interview from 60 Minutes from a decade or so ago.

* not comics: well, sure.

* not comics: this article on a science-fiction store in Brooklyn seems to hold a potential key for retail in the future more generally. This would include comics retail, except that comics retail is way ahead of all the all other retail curve not coffeeshops, really, and god bless them.

* finally, I spent a big chunk of last night reading a ton of Octopus Pie instead of doing what I was supposed to be doing. Not that I have anything to do that's all that important, but still: I was quite absorbed in my reading. I would flunk right the hell out of college if I were at college now.
