Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Dan Nadel talks to SPX's Warren Bernard in timely fashion about the excellent news that SPX is working with the Library of Congress on a collection of material related to the show.

* Tom Neely's Popeye tribute comic Doppelganger can be found scanned in its entirety over at Comics Alliance.

* Robin McConnell talks with Brandon Graham, Rebecca Dart and Robin Bougie. John Siuntres asks questions of Brian Bendis. Mike Rhode interrogates Marty Baumann. The magnificently-named George A. Tramountanas speaks to Victor Gischler. Mark Sable and Abhay Khosla debate Mat Brinkman's work.

* missed it: Portland's Guapo Comics And Coffee has apparently decided to drop the comics part.

* Warren Ellis talks about an idea floating around out there that digital comics will place a greater emphasis on shorter comics stories.

* the first and last sentence of Philip Nel's forthcoming book on Crockett Johnson and Ruth Krauss.

* a bunch of newspaper cartoonists will remember 9/11 on the tenth anniversary, via a Sunday cartoon. There was a similar effort back in 2001 I think maybe at Thanksgiving. Come to think of it, it should be interesting to see what the best political cartoonists do that day.

* various Justice League line-ups discussed.

* he didn't make it; it was posted on his site as a disavowal.

* you, Steve Ditko inking over Dick Ayers does sound like it would be attractive.

* someone crazy with a lot of money to blow should do a book of 1980s indie-comics advertising art.

* and a few, short words on shared licenses.

* Sean Gaffney reviews Tenjo Tenge Vol. 2. Don MacPherson explores Pherone. Greg McEhlatton checks out Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1. J. Caleb Mozzocco bounces between a bunch of individual comics.

* finally, this is a fun discussion of collaboration in Indie comics. I think it's partly an historical accident we don't have more, as doing it all yourself represents the cleanest break with mainstream comics tradition.
