Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* L'Encre du passe has won this year's le Prix Oecumenique de la bande dessinee from a jury of 14. The prize will be given out on Thursday of Angouleme Festival week.

* Dash Shaw profiles Makoto Aida.

* the must-read of the weekend is probably this post and resulting thread at The Beat on periodicals, using a Brian Hibbs editorial as a jumping-off point. A quote of mine is taken out of context and treated rather shabbily, but the John Jackson Miller parts are so choice I don't feel too bad about it.

* Sean T. Collins reviews Plague Hero.

* Howard Chaykin and Ho Che Anderson converse.

* there's a two-part interview with Mark Wheatley here and here.

* these are the ten books that made Marc Mason glad he was a comics reader in 2009.

* not exactly comics: R. Fiore on gayface.

* Charles Vess interviewed.

* Vertige Graphic seems to have packaged Charles Schulz's Christian young people cartoons into their own book.

* now there is a prime time "let's you and him fight" quote, although you have to like any argumentative construction that casts John O'Hara's work as an insult.

* the 2010 Midnight Fiction desk calendar is available for download here.

* finally, congratulations to Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick.
