Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* this New York Times article about an exhibition of legal- and lawyer-related comic book offerings at Yale University rare books library discusses both Mr. District Attorney and Wolff & Byrd. I look forward to the comics shows and exhibitions getting stranger and more specific as the years slide by.

* Michael Cavna checks in with cartoonists previously spurned by Apple's app rule just to make sure they had problems with what seemed like obviously ridiculous clarifications in submission rules made recently.

* Mark Evanier has a report from the Comic Art Professional Society celebration honoring Russ Heath, including an anecdote about Heath basically squatting at the Chicago version of the Playboy Mansion for a long time after he no longer had any business being there.

* Gary Tyrrell notes that NYCC is rounding into shape, and the panel schedule should be released today.

* Nicole Rudick takes a quick look at A Drunken Dream, which I enjoyed quite a bit.

* Jeff Parker is putting together a final letters column for his long run on Marvel's 1950s characters. Speaking of Parker, Craig Fischer looks at the cartoonist/writer, both the idea of him and the reality, including that page in his recent Steve Lieber collaboration Underground that made me want to cry I was so uncomfortable by the idea presented. You don't see as many of those "look at this one creator across a few works" reviews as you used to ten years ago.

* Diamond's throwing a breakfast party and only retailers are invited.

* Nick Mullins writes in general support of Geoff Grogan's recent piece on having expectations too high for a convention to experience to satisfy, discussing his own experience as a long-time exhibitor at APE.

* finally, he just really doesn't like the costume.
