Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the newspaper industry bible Editor & Publisher confirms that Walt Handelsman's cartoons are behind the pay wall erected at Newsday.

* yesterday's announcement of a multi-book deal between Fantagraphics and Greg Sadowski sent me scrambling for my copy of Supermen! -- Matthew Brady has an itemized series of observations here. That is one deeply weird and occasionally wonderful book.

* I don't remember where I found this link, but it's to an article profiling five female webcartoonists.

* the writer and inker Charles Yoakum analyzes a recent David Gabriel interview in terms of Marvel's publishing strategies. Michael Doran does a play by play.

* the cartoonist Tom Kaczynski reports from last weekend's Zak Sally/John P. event.

* more from Alan Moore on Dodgem Logic.

* not comics: Don Ivan Punchatz, RIP (via)

* go, bid: it looks like the Hero Initiative's charity auction of Wolverine covers has begun.

* I'm a little confused in that Wizard shut down its WizardUniverse.com site to almost bare bones functionality, and then announced that they'd moved their stuff to WizardWorld.com, but it basically looks like the old WizardUniverse site and functions about as well, by which I mean not well.

* here's a fine list of five small-press cartoonists to read. I think it's just intended to be a five cartoonists to read list, and it works just fine that way, too.

* finally, Alan David Doane and Johnny Bacardi pay tribute to The Comics Journal as a print periodical in light of their recent announcement they'll be going to a semi-annual with a beefed-up web site component in 2010. Steven Grant swears his longer piece is not a eulogy.
