Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* here's how you make a comics Internet post: the folks at the FPI Blog bring my attention to Gerry Alanguilan discussing John Lent's forthcoming history of comics in the Phillippines. That's like a half-dozen of my favorite comics people, places and things.

* not comics and missed it: Tim Kreider on 9/11

* although I am quite fond of the Sub-Mariner, his bad attitude, his contempt for the surface world, the fact that he shows up for the vast majority of his fistfights in his Speedo, and the fact that his other swimsuit for some reason covers most of his body, I'm afraid he loses this one.

* here's a forthcoming exhibit featuring what sounds like photos of key European and British creators.

* Gropius In Space

* here's a nice, long article comparing the new Yotsuba&! Vol. 4 with the ADV version of the same book.

* El Santo collage

* the increasingly infrequent writer about webcomics Eric Burns pops up with a final look at Scary Go Round.

* I'm not certain about the wisdom of leading with the image of a sweaty Steve Lieber, but I always like reading to that artist talking comics. I imagine I have the comic strip version of this same interview linked-to from CR somewhere, too.

* a happy 3500th issue to Beano. That is one long longbox.

* finally, here's an article on sex and comics that I may or may not read. I always wonder why they go to the superhero comics when they write articles like this, as so many funny animals are outright lacking pants.
