Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I'm going to run a big NYCC publishing news round-up in "Bundled" tomorrow, but that the Artists Edition series is adding Watchmen and New Gods as well as featuring Steranko is good news for people that enjoy that material, that series and looking at comics art more generally. Another great pair of gets for Scott Dunbier, who is accomodating the lack of original art pages around for Watchmen by changing his format a bit for that one as the article describes.

* also good news that maybe can't wait an extra day is new Kate Beaton.

* Dan Berry talks to Roman Muradov.

* Danny Fingeroth wrote in to remind that he's teaching a comics writing course starting this week. I never know what to do with courses in my events calendar, so you get to learn about the course here.

* here's a look at twin comics anthologies from the 1980s, but this time RAW and Love & Rockets instead of the usual RAW and Weirdo pairing.

* not comics: I think it's safe to say that very few comics pros could pull something like this off. Although here's one.

* I don't usually pay attention to comic book urban myths and local legends, but this one with George RR Martin is a pretty good one.

* not comics: James Thurber profiled as a writer. We always forget Thurber when making lists of cartoonists important in other media.

* finally, this piece of art reminds me I've not seen let alone read most of the Giant-Man/Ant-Man material from the 1960s. That and the late 1960s/early 1970s Sub-Mariner series are probably the comics runs from the first 20 years of the company with the least amount of impact in terms of today's storylines.
