Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Kate Beaton is cover featured on the latest issue of the Canadian publishing magazine of record Quill & Quire.

* Yayo won the Charles Biddle Award -- a very nice-sounding award, by the way.

* please, please, please someone make a giant poster book featuring Mattias Adolfsson's works like this one sampled in tiny part at left. It's like the nursery wall of my dreams.

* Brigid Alverson catches a post devoted to some of Rick Geary's pencil work.

* that's a lovely single image from Paul Pope. Ditto this Jose Munoz drawing from the same source. I'm also a fan of Mike Dawson's drawing of Drunk Hulk.

* congratulations to Dave Lasky and Frank Young on hitting their goal for additional funds to finish their Carter Family project, and congratulations to all of those on board for some of that sweet, sweet Lasky art. Now that that's a done deal, please everybody consider helping out Ron Regé Jr.

* Michael Ventrella talks to Darrin Bell. Pamela Paul talks to Maurice Sendak. Alex Dueben talks to Jim Ottaviani.

* this D+Q photo array and convention report from the recent Small Press Expo is full of enough candid shots that it deserves its own listing away from the Collective Memory.

* Kim Thompson explains that trippy photo comic in which he starred, posted on-line the other day.

* Kelly Thompson on Optic Nerve #12. Sharayah Read on Spartacus: Blood And Sand #1. Grant Goggans on Popeye Vol. 5. Sean T. Collins on Habibi. Sean Gaffney on Codename Sailor V Vol. 1. I have no idea who this is on 2000 AD #1750-#1751. Michael Buntag on Green Lantern: Ganthet's Tale.

* you know that serial superhero comics are starting to get old when there are this many stories about Hulk being shot into space; on the other hand, this is an easy way for writers to change things up for the character from his traditional "hunted" narrative.

* the CBLDF discusses its original art sales.

* the artist and educator Steve Bissette once again talks in reasonable fashion about being asked to do work for free, and all the permutations of complaining about that kind of imbalance.

* so is Vibe still an embarrassment in current DC continuity? They should have a superhero called "Reboot" that always comes out ahead every time they shake the big wicker basket that is the state of reality.

* Graeme McMillan caught that Jim Shooter posted some a decade-old Marvel contract.

* finally, if you're thinking about accessing the new Sugar & Spike archival editions from DC and are still sitting on the fence, here's a bunch of material about the series at Four Realities.
