Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Michael Buntag on Girl In Dior. Benito Cereno on Krazy Kat.

* here's an interesting piece by Rob Salkowitz on nostalgia as a way of discerning differences between two general ages of fandom. I think he's onto something with a lot of it. I might caution against characterizing knowledge of history as a purely an outcome of a nostalgic point of view. I think there have been plenty of scholars and general students of the medium that always distrusted nostalgia and are as equally likely as any group operating today to have wanted to indict nostalgia's blind adherents. I'm also not sure just personally I ever felt entitled for a turn at the spearpoint of comics culture. There are a lot of funs things to think about in there, though, agree with them or not.

* makes sense there would be a company like this, although I never thought a publisher would be that open about it.

* not sure how this cover ended up in my bookmarks, but I like all of the pink.

* Bully calls bad taste not once but twice on the use of the Vietnam names wall as a visual element on a comic book cover.

* Dave Richards talks to Rick Remender. Meagan Damore talks to James Robinson. Steve Foxe talks to Jon Goldwater.

* the business news and analysis site ICv2.com has an update on goings-on with ComicsPRO, including an initiative called Local Comic Shop Day.

* finally, a Doctor Strange hero history from the writer Ben McCool seems appropriate with the Marvel movie version starting to film soon.
