Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* prominent retailers Brian Hibbs and Joe Field enthuse over the success of DC's re-launch. I'm very happy for the retailers that have done well.
* the writer Tony Isabella, who manfully refuses to use subject tags or any other grouping mechanism, is blogging about a story he did with Steve Ditko several years back. It includes the pencil breakdowns and final pages. Here are six of those posts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
* here are a few things that John Porcellino learned while drawing a page of Yoshihiro Tatsumi's comics. I'd read something like this every day if it were possible.
* Julian Sanchez notes that the major rich superheroes inherit their wealth while the major rich supervillains tend to be self-made men.
* finally, Mike Lynch alerts us to a dramatic performance of Tomb Of Dracula #10. I always thought performances of comic books would make some inventive theater company a very fine late-night series.
