Two That May Not Be Out In 2010; One Forgotten High-End Effort That Will

The blog at Forbidden Planet International notes that two potential comics of the year and decade, Footnotes in Gaza and Alec: The Years Have Pants, may both go Raging Bull on us and become part of lists done in early 2011 and in early 2020. That same posts links to a fine interview with each man, and I encourage you to follow them. I had previously thought we would get the Sacco but maybe not the Campbell, so that was news to me.

On the other hand, mysteriously not discussed much at all is the impending comics section to a special issue of McSweeney's celebrating the broadsheet-style newspaper. That looks to have gained a nice cross-promotional relationship with the San Francisco Chronicle. That comics section will be 16 pages long and features at least Chis Ware, Dan Clowes and Art Spiegelman.

Update: CR reader George Xydas notes as I certainly should have that both the books mentioned above are certainly out in an advanced sense, such as in copies for reviewers and through stores scheduled for advance signings, just not in that mass sense of an arrival date through Diamond and (perhaps) your local Barnes & Noble. Please forgive my sloppy analysis.
