First, a review of the Kick-Ass movie from the April edition of The Scene. Worth keeping, due to the ignorance of the reviewer betrayed in the opening sentence: “Most comic book stories follow the same premise”...
People often write about "comic books" when they should write "superhero comics". It shows their lack of knowledge of the variety of work in comics.
Cartoons are quickly being killed off at The Observer according to Private Eye 2nd April 2010...
The Daily Record 14th April reports on a copy of Beano Annual 1939 found in a pile of items donated to a charity shop...
The Independent 16th April on rapper Scroobius Pip’s graphic novel...
More musicians getting involved in comics in the Financial Times from 17th April...
Rosemary Goring in The Herald 17th April on “graphic artist” Mark Millar’s Kick-Ass...
Could the comics in your loft be worth a fortune? The Guardian 20th April...
Jeff Oaks’ book on Wonder Woman reviewed by Sarah Vine in The Times 23rd April...
Peanuts is sold for $175 million. No word on how this will affect Fantagraphics’ book collections. Hopefully not at all. The comics themselves are probably beneath the notice of the new owners...
