Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I am greatly enjoying these Sunday Archie posts, and I don't know why.

image* there's a bunch of George Tuska stuff out there, celebrating the life of the late, longtime veteran comic book artist. Here's Dustin Harbin at Heroes On-Line with the perspective on Tuska as a frequent con guest. Evan Dorkin talked about him here. J. Caleb Mozzocco appreciates a Tuska/Craig page and provides a personal reminiscence. Johnny Bacardi posts four crackling pages. Comics Blogger Ruler Of Us All NeilAlien posts that panel. Mainstream comics fans remember. Mark Evanier reflects.

* once I stop staring at the art in this post, I look forward to reading the words and finding out what it's about.

* young Seth in a cub scout uniform.

* it looks like Craig Thompson had a great time in Brazil.

* I've been hoping that someone out there would do more interviews with Direct Market retailers. Not wish on a star hoping, or anything, just a general desire.

* I don't get it -- just because they close your post office branch doesn't mean you stop getting mail. Pluggers don't understand how mail works?

* the cartoonist Eddie Campbell's march through modern graphic novels continues with a look at Exit Wounds.

* finally, more than a couple of people are taking note of this Fall's price war, driven by Wal-Mart or Amazon depending on which article you read, as a bad thing for booksellers in general.
