Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* okay, this is pretty fascinating: a lengthy post about the lost art of Heinrich Kley.

image* Simon Gane drew Aya. Jason sketches. John Kenn gives me nightmares. Renee French gives me more nightmares. Roman Muradov makes with the magazine covers. Mattias Adolfsson draws Breakfast In Bed. Paul Hornschemeier goes blue-line crazy.

* this is great: a Cleveland public library card honoring Harvey Pekar.

* that's a different style than I'm used to seeing from Steve Leiber, and I like it. I always thought an easy anthology idea would be second styles. I like suggest anthology ideas because they tend to sell so horribly you can't really screw it up.

* the EC books officially launched -- or locally launched, or just launched, or something -- at the Fantagraphics store. Looks like a good time was had by all.

* here are six creators selected by Chris Arrant as having comeback potential. That's an odd list, and I think what he means is that if the creators decided to do work in the North American mainstream. He probably says as much, but I didn't see it during my buzz through the post. I like all of those creators. I'd be surprised if any of them ever does a prominent mainstream series ever again.

* Sandra Barrera profiles Terri Libenson.

* hey, it's an all-Rookie oriented D+Q travelogue. You know, I could find a copy of Rookie in Muncie, Indiana the other week. I was crushed.

* finally, I guess Max has a blog up related to Vapor.
