Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* James Vance remembers the life and work of Archie Goodwin.
* Lars Vilks, who made recent international news for drawing Muhammed's head on the body of a dog and receiving death threats a-plenty as a result, will be speaking this Friday in New York.
* I find it interesting that Ben Templesmith's tour in the Philippines apparently has him to do signings at various cinemas. Other than the occasional chat-room declaration that this should happen in order to save comics or whatever, I can't remember anyone ever doing it before.
* Mark Badger weighs in on initial criticism about DC's Zuda webcomics effort using Flash; Barney Sheehan replies to Badger. Based on a 15 second reading of both letters and my own experiences stumbling around the Zuda site, I agree more with Sheehan than I do Badger, I think. Matt Maxwell's appraisal of the content is so even-handed it's kind of scary. Okay, it's not really scary.
