Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Henry Chamberlain on Laid Waste. Nick Smith on The Osamu Tezuka Story: A Life In Manga And Anime. Rob Clough on The Nincompoop #1.

* Alex Jones profiles Sally Jane Thompson. Rob McMonigal profiles Kevin Budnik. Emma Lawson pays tribute to the great Alison Bechdel. Ron Goulart profiles Oskar Lebeck.

* Tim Hensley writes about the last remaining copies of his glorious Sir Alfred No. 3, which is bound to get a significant cool-kids push for best comic of 2016. It's not that only cool kids liked it, but maybe only cool kids were on top of the comic's publication in a way they could snag a copy. It's really funny, really good.

* did I mention anywhere that Fantagraphics is hiring? They've had some really good designers through there the last dozen year, kind of the last thing to fall into place for that company the way the flying red skull head was the last thing for that sleeper robot that fought Captain America that one time. Oh, shut up, you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, please get that job and then e-mail me as to who those people in the ad are.

* great get for Box Brown and First Second in the Boston area. The book is either out five minutes from now or was out five minutes ago. I think it'll do well.

* finally, Heidi MacDonald reports back from the Diamond Retailer Summit. A lot of an event like that is getting the company's primary spin on their overall sales profile, but that can be a fascinating thing, too.
