Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I don't really know what this is a preview of, but someone liked it enough to send me the link.

* RC Harvey writes at length and with some measure of passion on the late Paul Conrad.

* John Romita Jr. draws Judge Dredd.

* not comics: I don't know where I picked up this link, I think it might have been sent to me, and I guess to say it's a cautionary tale for a lot of creative types working in the more working-class arts neighborhoods is a bit easy, but there it is.

* Ben Morse talks about DC's Dick Grayson character, probably one of the more likable people in their stable and the beneficiary of several quality runs of mainstream superhero comics (and a few odd ones). It's weird that that Scott McDaniel/Rodolfo Damaggio take on stylized superhero art didn't establish itself more firmly; I thought theirs were generally interesting comics to look through when they came in with the DC box when I worked at The Comics Journal oh so many years ago.

* Sean Collins introduces Marvel web site visitors to Frank Santoro, a great favorite of this site, on the occasion of his doing a Silver Surfer comic for the Strange Tales Vol. 2 project.

* Deb Aoki writes up and comments upon the spotlight panel presentation with Moto Hagio from this summer's Comic-Con, which turned into a career retrospective of obvious, considerable interest.

* the very smart and always thorough Brigid Alverson writes about the problems with review Shojo manga. It's probably not what you think.

* he's right: you should be reading the Same Hat! tumblr.

* this is nice: the AAEC talks up a pair of long-time contributors to that organization.

* I am both very much looking forward to this, and sort of not looking forward to this. I think you'll understand where I'm coming from.

* Ty Templeton picks the seven best gay characters in comics, and actually extends himself into more than one kind of comic. Although he forgot Batman.

* finally, this story of futility and first class, sustained griping is one of the more amusing things about mainstream comics you'll likely read this year, cooked to just the right temperature by Kevin Melrose.
