Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* happy birthday, Golden Apple.

image* the writer Steven Grant continues to share his education in comics art, including how the undergrounds changed things and how his appreciation of content relates to his appreciation for art.

* not comics: over at MediaBistro.com, Jeff Rivera suggests that book publishers are seeing declining sales because they're really, really, really out of touch with what people want and aren't even trying to move in the direction of what evolving demographics suggest they may want. Me, I think book publishing is gross.

* out-of-left-field experiences in comics don't get any better than finding out that the super-talented Al Columbia also makes music and videos, and that the quality of that material is super high. I haven't seen any of the videos yet, but I've always thought highly of the music.

* here's a gateway link to a French comic art auction. It's usually fun to see what that stuff goes for and what the art looks like.

* finally, Susie Cagle writes an open letter to SPX of the best kind: one that challenges many of the show's operating principles.
