Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the world can spend Labor Day weekend cooking out, watching college football, and squeezing in the last moments of summer safe in the knowledge that Jim Woodring is going to build himself a giant pen. Here's how it will work.

* not comics: whoa, check out these nice children's book illustrations over at Guy Delisle's site.

* pursuing their larger mandate as is their custom over the last three or four years, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) is joining in a challenge to a bad Alaskan law.

* I always wondered why Marvel has never been able to do anything with couldn't do more with Giant-Man, who apparently went away for a while and could be coming back. I'm cognizant of the character's shortcomings as developed over the years, but growing really large is one of the abiding metaphors that superhero comics provides, almost up there with flying and turning invisible, and you'd think there's something that could be done with that.

* the writer and cartoonist Shaenon Garrity's choice of obscure yet meaningful comic is a great one this time out.

* not comics: I had no idea there was a Hooked On Comix Vol. 3.

* finally, I am about as far removed from the target audience for this book featuring a new take on Superman as you can get in comics, but it looks sort of awful to me.
