Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Jeff Lester and Ian Brill, two longtime comics fans who occasionally write about comics, have a short conversation about the nature of comics buying in the era of event storylines. I think the notion that emphasizing a certain kind of storytelling may have an effect on all of the kinds of storytelling a company offers is well worth considering.

* Dick Hyacinth is making one big list of everyone's top comics lists: read here and here to participate.

* Dax Delap sends along a link to this description of an early promotional effort on behalf of David Mazzucchelli's forthcoming book.

* the writer and critic Douglas Wolk writes on archival comic strip reprint projects for the Washington Post. Instead of going for a currently syndicated strip as his modern example, Wolk throws a spotlight on a collection of Christopher Baldwin's Little Dee.

* you might not join me in finding stuff like this totally and completely fascinating, but here's a piece on continuing attempts to archive the office effects and related materials from the late Carl Giles.

* this may be old and just re-surfacing on the web site again, but I liked this Mother Jones interview with Adrian Tomine.

* a media analysis blog digs into the Black Cartoonists Action story from last week.

* the Guardian runs a small piece on the Ashcan Artists, one of the first artistic movements to have been influenced by commercial comics production.

* someone gave Dan Nadel Shooting War for Christmas; Dan Nadel gives Shooting War a big lump of coal.
