Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* of the avalanche of Berke Breathed pieces we're seeing in conjunction with the new archive launching, I enjoyed reading this piece from New York.

* here's Eddie Campbell on Persepolis. I think that's one a lot of people will revisit in the next few years.

* here's a piece on the 1980s John Byrne-led Superman re-launch as a gateway comic. It's amazing to think how that particular publishing event would be handled as a news story now.

* there are wonderful Prison Pit event photos here and here. Ye Gods.

* another wonderful post at Comics Comics, this time on Hayao Miyazaki and the gekiga school of manga.

* finally, Sean T. Collins expands a bit on yesterday's announcement that the arts festival run by MoCCA will take place in 2010 in a very crowded April, noting that people will react to the table prices and that there seems to be some pent-up resentment regarding. I've always felt there's some resentment about certain practices at the show along with a great deal of affection for it generally. I think people see the table costs and look at the what they get back in terms of basic services -- the fact that air conditioning was off the table, the haphazard nature of pre-show promotion, what seems like year after year of confusion on the floor itself despite it being a veteran festival at this point -- and ask questions, even if it makes them uncomfortable given how much they enjoy the show and get a lot out of it.
