Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* first Indiana Jones and now Frank Margerin's Lucien. It's been a heck of a year -- if you like to feel old.

* the release of The Spirit Special #1 was apparently brought about because of retailer suggestions at a Las Vegas Diamond Retailer summit. I hope that a lot of retailers are able to use it in anticipation of Frank Miller's Christmas-released Spirit movie.

* the writer and critic Craig Fischer presents snippets of a conversation with cartoonist Ben Towle.

* I enjoyed this short interview with Paul Pope at Suicide Girls. Somehow it seems like Paul Pope should be interviewed once a week by Suicide Girls.

* Randall Munroe and Farley Katz are having a cartoon-off.

* I think entirely too little has been made of the Smurfs' 50th Anniversary. Granted, I don't read the articles about it and just look at the pictures, but they're awesome pictures.

* finally, the special edition of Blutch's Vitesse Moderne being released in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of Aire Libre sure is handsome-looking. I don't know if special editions of books featuring North American titles would go over -- I'm pretty sure they wouldn't, actually, beyond total re-formatting efforts like the new Ghost World book and the Absolute editions at DC.
