Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* here's a fine, short interview in support of independent UK publisher Canongate moving into comics with The Complete Peanuts.

* now that's a bad review.

* this CNN profile of Lars Vilks, whose portrait of Muhammed's head on the body of a dog alarmed the post-Danish Cartoons Controversy world, includes the notions that those who e-mail and text message death threats seem to do so in economical fashion.

* I keep forgetting to put this notice in the craft section of the quick hits entries, so I'll put it here: Marvel Editor Tom Brevoort is doing a series on comic book covers.

* Matthias Wivel gets into a discussion of value in art and contrary stances and backlashes that is well worth your time if you like to ponder these things.

* the University of Kentucky's Board of Trustees makes certain that it gets on the record condemning the content of a recent independent newspaper's cartoon featuring slave imagery.

* this article made me wonder if someone's official line on Paul Pope is that the pre-THB graphic novels no longer exist, although it was probably just a quickly-written press-driven story. Actors, writers and playwrights shift their resumes forward all the time, but the completion impulse in comics buying usually keeps it from happening there. Also, those prints sound cool.
