Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Grant Goggans on The New Deal.

* this Paul Pope variant cover is fun. Variant covers are inevitably abused -- for market share, for manufacturing collectibles -- but I don't mind the idea and I think I would have liked a couple of them a year when I was a kid.

* always a little bit hesitant to link to whole works obviously covered by copyright even when I can count on them having been cuffed to the floor if anyone really cared, but I'll take a chance with the fun "George R. Binks" until someone says stop.

* finally, here's an article on comics to buy as presents for non-comics readers. Those are all pretty good comics, although they seem to exist in a tight range of works -- they could be racked within two feet of one another in a store with comics spread out all over the place. I don't proselytize for comics other than insist they're totally worth reading. Maybe if prodded further, I'd suggest people find works that align closely to works they enjoy in books and film. All the arts I love I fell for them on my own.
