Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Colleen Doran sent along a link to her blog post about an abusive and exploitative author's services company. It's slightly terrifying that the sprawl of the Internet has only increased the opportunities for horrible people like this.

* I'm not sure everyone can see this, but Jim Blanchard owns one hell of an early Clowes image. Who wouldn't buy a comic called Young Criminal? Speaking of things you maybe can't see from talented artists with whom I used to share an office, here's a Pat Moriarity cartoon about the great magazine Mineshaft. Man, who doesn't love Mineshaft?

* Paul Di Filippo has posted that NYT article about an early comics convention that crops up here and there. If I had a time machine there'd be no killing Hitler for all the time I'd spend going to comic book convention from before 1980.

* Albert Stabler profiles Chris Ware. George A. Tramountanas talks to Greg Pak. Tim O'Shea talks to Mark Sable. Jim Rugg and Jasen Lex talk to Stephanie Armbruster. Paul Gravett talks to Amruta Patil.

* not comics: yeah, that's not good.

* I think I've seen this photo of Roberts Armstrong and Crumb with Ward Kimball before, but I certainly don't mind looking at it again.

* Michael Buntag on Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Vol. 4. Rob Clough on Toon Books. Don MacPherson on various comics. John Kane on various comics. Christopher Allen on Locke & Key: Grindhouse. J. Caleb Mozzocco on various comics. Sean Gaffney on Bamboo Blade Vol. 14. Paul O'Brien on a bunch of X-Men related comics. Andy Oliver on American Elf Vol. 4. Tucker Stone on a bunch of different comics. Rob Clough on Trubble Club #5. Matt Brady on Not The Israel My Parents Promised Me.

* an alternate history for Alan Moore.

* congratulations to Noah Berlatsky on five years of Hooded Utilitarian.
