Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I like a lot of Darrin Bell's comics, so I'm looking forward to reading this interview with Michael Cavna about creating work in these socio-political times.

image* Kevin Huizenga profiles Jerry Moriarty.

* not comics: Jeet Heer dug up an article on why Walt Disney didn't hire female animators, which is as goofy and as depressing as you'd expect. It's a refined set of standards, in a way: he's fine with using female artists, just not animators.

* Tom Bondurant looks back at Crisis On Infinite Earths now 30 years in the rearview mirror. I have almost no affection for superhero universes as their own thing, but I have to admit that was a fairly fascinating enterprise and one that's echoed down through the ages as an almost primary defining element of what those companies do.

* Brian Nicholson on Janus. Luke Geddes on Sex. Jog on Recidivist Vol. IV. Richard Bruton on 100 Words (Or Less). Chris Sims on Hellboy And The BPRD: 1952. J. Caleb Mozzocco on a bunch of different comics.

* I've enjoyed these Simon Hanselmann diaries.

* there are still shows being added like mad.

* finally, Frank Santoro went to the one-day Genghis Con in Cleveland and sold some comics.
