You Could Always Spend The Day Reading About Comics

Seems like there's a surge of longer material about comics available out there today:

* Chris Mautner provides TCJ with a 10,000-word-or-so interview with Jessica Abel and Matt Madden.

* there's a new digital magazine about digital comics offerings here.

* there's an established digital magazine with academic articles about comics galore with a bunch of stuff on-line here.

* Erik Davis profiles the great Rick Griffin in two parts. My theory is that the initial generation of comic book makers started so young and for the most part survived into such a healthy old age that we're now scrambling to grapple with the generations that have come since because as we're now rounding into that attention those artists are either very old or no longer with us. It's okay to play catch-up as long as we keep at it, keep playing.

* I'm not exactly sure how it got into my bookmarks, but this article on the discovery of Carl Barks by appreciative fans is something you can read the next time you're feeling down about fandom. That was a good thing those comics readers did.
