Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* this particular Jack Kirby image doesn't get posted as much as some of them, but it's fun.

* Paddy Johnson talks to Ken Parille. Henry Chamberlain talks to Bill Kartalopoulos.

* Marc Arsenault remembers Zero Zero and Kim Thompson.

* I like this illustration by Guy Delisle. And I always love it when Evan Dorkin makes a monster. Chris Schweizer drew Lando Calrissian.

* Sarah McIntyre's hat game is impeccable.

* Sean Kleefeld puzzles over exactly how much emphasis the late Golden Age publishers placed on a female readership.

* love for the Curt Swan Superman. One thing that's weird is that if you're of a certain age you might have been exposed to a lot of Curt Swan but preferred the reprint versions you were occasionally seeing. I was one of those kids, although I've come to appreciated what Swan did with that character.

* whoa, what a shirt.

* Jason on Asterix. Todd Klein on Saga Vol. 3. Sean Gaffney on Geijutsuka Art Design Class Vol. 6. Ng Suat Tong on Hilda. Grant Goggans on Zenith Phase One. J. Caleb Mozzocco on a bunch of picture books. Richard Bruton on (In A Sense) Lost & Found.

* finally, based on the number of Jillian Tamaki things I did not buy, this month's SPX was a total failure.
