Today on the site: Eddie Campbell reviews Young Romance: The Best of Simon and Kirby's Romance Comics and highlights the themes and art styles embedded in these oft-overlooked comics.
And elsewhere, yesterday's interview subject, Matthew Thurber, turned in a culture diary for The Paris Review. And of interest to comics readers, HiLobrow has opened a publishing imprint specializing in "Radium Age" science fiction. It looks good. Details here. In other publishing news comes the announcement that Seth will be illustrating Lemony Snicket's upcoming series of autobiographical novels.
And finaly, the deluge of sad news for comic book creator ownership continues. CBR has the story, sourced from Daniel Best, of Gary Friedrich's shameful treatment by Marvel in regards to his creation of the contemporary Ghost Rider character. And via Tom Spurgeon there's news of a lawsuit involving payment for the original artist of the hugely successful Walking Dead comic book and TV series.
