Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* so next month is the Harvey Pekar statue dedication program; I don't know that I had seen any hint of what it is to look like until this link.

* Cassie-la on Underwater Welder.

* not sure I know what's going on here or why I kept the link, but I like this photo from the Helsinki Comics Festival. I sort of just like the idea that there is a Helsinki Comics Festival.

* not comics: James Vance talks Dick Tracy movie serial.

* not comics: I think I picked up this link because there was a big comics/cartooning element to the Erdogan government's first forays into using the legal system to beat up on dissenting expression. I don't know where the line is here and what's legitimate or not, but it something worth keeping in mind as Turkey settles into a bigger place on the world stage.

* if I'm understanding this post correctly, congratulations to Emily Carroll.

* there's a Lucy Knisley process post here that kind of links out to some other stuff she's been up to recently.

* I greatly enjoyed this post from Steve Bissette on his favorite Swamp Thing covers. That title had a bunch of memorable covers, all in a style that never really took in terms of cover illustrations after that. They really just exude that time period as a result.

* finally, I like this drawing of the Hulk because it reminds me it would be really weird to see someone that green. Do you ever wonder about that, if there's some sort of diminishment of the basic thrills in mainstream comics in particular. I mean, I'm totally amazed when I see someone hop over a low-lying fence; I have to think the physicality of those worlds would be astounding and yet a lot of what goes on in the books themselves doesn't seem to reflect that very frequently.
