Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* here's Al Jaffee on the imposition of the Comics Code.

* Chuck Forsman has a limited-time Kickstarter going for a book he's doing I think through Bergen Street Comics. I don't understand how any of that works, but enough do that it was quick to reach its initial established goal.

* not comics: I think I agree with everything written here about paying people.

* Daryl Cagle talks to Sabir Nazar.

* there are some Internet rumblings out there along the lines of DC Comics not having an all-ages Supergirl comic book out there for those made curious by the television show featuring a version of the Otto Binder/Al Plastino character. Here's one such instance. I try not to tell people how to publish because I'm terrible at publishing, but it does seem odd. In fact, I don't know why there isn't a core line at both companies in addition to an all-ages line at both and why all four of these lines aren't stocked with the characters conventional wisdom demands of them. But that's just me. The other Internet back-and-forth I saw looking around is new/potential fans vs. established superhero dude fans and their respective opinions. I listened to music last night.

* festivals extra: Chicago Zine Fest registration is open until 10/30. That one is in late April next year.

* the writer and comics historian Mark Evanier expands on an idea he presented to his readers while memorializing the late Murphy Anderson, citing the economic background of many first- and second-generation comic book makers and how they regarded their work as a result.

* finally, the next Hellboy story previewed.
