Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* several days ago now, that Harvey Pekar-related kickstarter campaign reached its goal.

* go, bookmark: I had no idea this Ronald Searle tribute blog existed until it popped up in a search related to a news item about which I posted yesterday. It's a blast so far.

* Chad Nevett on Secret Avengers #19. Doug Zawisza on Fantastic Four #600.

* not exactly comics: there's a fun article at the New York Times about the library check-out habits of people in Muncie, Indiana (the Lynds' famous "Middletown, USA") a century-plus ago. Talking to the librarian in Muncie now reveals that graphic novels are the back check-out item today, particularly when measured on an individual-item basis.

* Eastyn Cazin talks to Marian Churchland. Susan Karlin profiles Alan Moore and Harvey Pekar. Josie Campbell talks to Chris Roberson and Tony Daniel. Tim O'Shea talks to Steve Orlando. Tom Lamont talks to Alan Moore.

* Sean T. Collins does us all the favor of finding out where Renee French is posting work these days.

* finally, I've been told outright this is a stupid theory, but I've always wondered when the sort of out there mainstream books falter a bit sales-wise if that's because the market is over-saturated with that kind of book at the moment.
