ordinary life is pretty complex stuff: it's been awhile since we checked in on harvey pekar, so here's a piece from the sydney morning herald that sees how he's doing post the release of the recent american splendor film: "Pekar and Brabner agree that the best results of their movie experience have been for their daughter. The modest payment they received for their story is set aside for her education, a cost Pekar had not budgeted for after his vasectomy. Through the production company Fine Line, they got to know The Lord of the Rings crew ('We were the $6 million movie, they were the $600 million movie,' says Brabner) and the starstruck Danielle wants a career in special effects. They were all pleased with the movie, which won major awards at the Cannes and Sundance film festivals. But Pekar says he didn't have much choice when the first-time filmmakers, Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, approached him. He needed the money..."

boom time for manga: the new york daily news takes a look at the current manga boom and touches base with nyc retailer jim hanley's universe: "Japanese manga -- edgy, graphic novels with translated storylines steeped in mystery, fantasy and the surreal -- are multiplying in bookstores, as well as in video shops and other retailers... The $100 million U.S. market for these paperbacks - focused mainly on 'tweeners and teeners, 12 to 17, but with many older fans - is booming and drawing in new players, including mighty Random House... At Jim Hanley's Universe, a mecca of comic books and other illustrated titles on W. 33rd St. in Manhattan, director of operations Jim Pernicone said he's about to group the growing number of manga novels into a separate section for the first time. 'We're running out of space,' he said yesterday."

spiderboy walks like a man: marvel is suing spiderboy.com over trademark infringement despite the website having absolutely nothing to do with the comic book character. from the bonita daily news out of florida: "Mark Pardo's spider sense never tingled on this one. The owner and president of Spiderboy.com, a Web site search engine, was hit with a federal lawsuit Wednesday by Marvel Enterprises Inc. and Marvel Characters Inc., the corporations that own and produce the Spider-Man superhero comics, action figures and video games. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Myers, accuses Pardo and Spiderboy International Inc. of trademark infringement, unfair competition and trademark dilution... 'Nobody has the rights to spiderboy but me,' Pardo said. 'They can't just come and take my name. The little guy just isn't gonna lay down.'"

talking with marjane: newsarama sat down to talk with marjane satrapi about her critically acclaimed graphic novel persepolis: "The main parts of the book are things that have happened. But in any story, unless you want to make a documentary or if it’s not a political book, you have to cheat a little bit, otherwise it would make for a boring documentary type book. That was not the purpose. To make any type of story you have make it work. But to know what is exactly true and what isn’t is my secret and I won’t tell you [laughs]."

only in comics: apparently stormwatch comic book writer and back the attack author micah wright is not in fact an Army Ranger, something he's claimed the past couple of years, and has come clean with an apology on his online forum:

"My name is Micah Wright. I'm a former Army Ranger, and I've been lying to you. I've kept the secret for years now, but all lies grow and eventually get out of control. This is me coming clean about my Big Lie. What did I lie about? Oh, nothing much...

"Except that I was never an Army Ranger. I never served a day in a Ranger Regiment. I never went to Ranger School. The closest I ever got was Army ROTC...

"...Then I was contacted about doing a book of the posters. The editor knew the work was good, but that wasn’t the best part. Here, he said, was a man who had been to war but who was AGAINST war! That would be the sales hook! A simple confession at that moment would have ended the lie—and, I felt, my hopes for publication. I chose to continue the lie and to claim that I -was- indeed a Ranger. What would it hurt, I thought, it's not like I'm applying for a job as a policeman or something, I'm just writing a book, right?

"And so the Big Ranger Lie grew and grew and grew... and eventually grew out of my control..."

no guts, no glory: the rise and hall of legendary '50's horror giant EC comics is expored in gory detail in this extended piece on time.com: "For comics, the 1950-54 period is analogous to Hollywood movies in 1930-34. Both are known as the pre-Code era, although a loose, laxly administered set of standards was already in place for both media. The early 30s for films, and the early 50s for comics, were seen as times of bold, often lurid entertainment, and are viewed in retrospect as pop-cultural high points. Both formats triggered powerful opposition among the burghers of propriety: movies with the Catholic Church and its newly formed Legion of Decency, comics with members of the press, Congress and at least one respected sociologist. Finally, both were sanitized — mildly, for movies; fatally, for horror comics..."

watch out for bearded men who wear sailor moon outfits: the japan times takes a look at the darker side of manga and its potential impact on local and foreign cultures: " 'Cuteness, eroticism, and violence are the essence of Japanese pop culture,' says Ichiya Nakamura, executive director of the Stanford Japan Center and ex-government policy maker. The saccharine cuteness of Hello Kitty and Sailor Moon has become almost as familiar to people in Europe and America as in Asia. From the Matrix to Kill Bill samurai, Japanese pop culture has never been more influential abroad. Even the word 'otaku,' originally an uncomplimentary term for asocial Japanese manga and anime obsessives has been happily adopted by foreign fans..."

suicide girls:

sophie crumb is interviewed over at suicidegirls.com: "I don't think I draw like Gilbert Shelton or my dad that much. I guess when you’re parents both do something they subconsciously teach it to you. When I was younger my dad would tell me that I should do it more like this. He's a perfectionist. He didn’t actually teach me, they don’t do that. It’s more of a family occupation."

dame darcy is interviewed over at bookslut.com: "I don't really keep track of my sales or my distribution. That's what I have a publisher for. Maybe I should keep track of that a little more, but everything's always so hectic. It's already really hard. Sometimes I don't think I have enough of a social life. I guess I have one. I don't know what to think anymore."

"DC Comics, leading US publisher of comic books and graphic novels, has acquired the North American publishing rights to existing and future comic-book material from UK publisher Rebellion. Rebellion is the publisher of 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine, the weekly and monthly titles featuring the world-renowned film and video game character Judge Dredd.

"The first books from DC are scheduled for September 2004, beginning with The Batman/Judge Dredd Files (written by John Wagner and Alan Grant, with art by Simon Bisley, Carl Critchlow, Dermot Power, Glenn Fabry, Jim Murray, and Jason Brashill) and Sinister Dexter: Gunshark Vacation (written by Dan Abnett, with art by David Millgate, Anthony Williams, Charles Gillespie, Simon Davis, and Henry Flint.)

king maker: on the heels of the dr. pepper deal mentioned yesterday, viz has announced a new exclusive distribution deal with book giant simon & schuster:

"Under the agreement, Simon & Schuster will provide the full suite of retail and wholesale distribution operations -- warehousing, fulfillment, customer service, and accounts receivable collection -- for the entire VIZ catalog of titles, including popular, best-selling manga like RUROUNI KENSHIN and FUSHIGI YÛGI. The company will also handle SHONEN JUMP titles like YU-GI-OH!, and new graphic novels like THE PRINCE OF TENNIS and BLEACH, the first volumes of which are set to ship in April and May respectively.

something must be working because Viz also announced that two of their recent releases have penetrated usa today's top 150 bestsellers list, a first for graphic novels:

"The manga editions of NARUTO, vol. 3, Bridge of Courage and RUROUNI KENSHIN vol. 4, Dual Conclusions are the first graphic novels to ever appear on USA Today’s Top 150 list of best selling books. Both NARUTO and RUROUNI KENSHIN appear on the Top 150 list for the week of April 18th. The list (viewable on USA Today’s website at www.usatoday.com) is based on an objective computer analysis of retail sales from 4,700 independent, chain, discount and online booksellers nationwide."

new review: young gods and friends by barry windsor-smith

"YOUNG GODS AND FRIENDS is one of those books where the story-behind-the-story is just as interesting, if not more so, then the story itself. Granted it's an unfinished work but from the start, creator Barry Windsor-Smith makes no bones about it; this book is as much a testament to his ongoing struggles with the comics industry as it is about the space-faring adventures of Princess Adastra of Orgasma."

Heroes protect the fine citizens of Paragon City in a colorful 3-D world where the victims of crimes not only thank players for their help, but they even compliment players on their costumes!"

justice warms my cold dead cockles: the new york times takes a look at a new indy film from evan oppenheimer about a comic book writer struggling post-911: "[Erik] Palladino plays Drew, a 30-ish writer of comic books, who finds in the wake of 9/11 that the inherent escapism of his chosen form no longer suits him. He convinces his reluctant publisher (David Patrick Kelly) to let him start a new character, Justice, an ordinary New Yorker without superpowers. Justice, dressed in the black robes of a judge, will cruise the streets of the city, righting wrongs with the aid of only a high-powered flashlight ('the Light of Justice!') and a stun gun. Drew's point is that ordinary people can be heroes, too, just like the friend he lost when the World Trade Center was destroyed."

Sitting in our green room at this very moment is a man who calls himself, 'Magic Brian.' We see a shot of Magic Brian. He looks like any normal guy. Nothing out of the ordinary. What makes him so special? Later in the show, 'Magic Brian' will eat a light bulb!"

hate hate hate: peter bagge talks hate! over at ugo.com: "When I was younger, I had all kinds of jobs. But in reference to the UPS job that Buddy has, it was always a fantasy because whenever the delivery guy comes to the door I thought it would be a great thing to do for a living. Also, it's the exact opposite of what I do since I am stuck in my basement studio all day. It'd be great to spend all day going hither and beyond. But I'm sure if I did it I would be miserable for completely different reasons. With Buddy too, since he's stuck in his store all day accepting deliveries, it's easy for me to see him feeling the same way. What's funny too is that after the Hate Annual came out, I heard from someone who worked in a comic book retail shop that her boss just snapped and went and got a job driving a delivery truck."

valentino speaks: ousted image head honcho, jim valentino, breaks his silence over at newsarama and talks about his departure, his health, upcoming projects, and the comic book direct market:

"I think Image has the same problem right now that all publishers do and that is that it is becoming a two-company industry again.

"Month-after-month the top ten is dominated by four brands: X, Spider, Super and Bat. A company like Image that doesn't pay the big bucks, well, okay, doesn't pay any bucks has a difficult time attracting top-seated talent. And fans are increasingly more reluctant to move beyond the tried and true characters they grew up with.

"Now, I don't say any of this as a dis toward either Marvel or DC. Personally, I think they're both doing some truly great stuff, but history proves this is not a healthy paradigm. When we limit our potential demographic and toss in the attrition of publishers on top of that, thereby limiting not only content, but also options for the creator, the health, stability and future of our industry is in serious jeopardy."

box office monday: a competitive weekend between denzel washington's man on fire and jennifer garner's 13 going on 30 left our two comic films in the cold this weekend, with the critically panned punisher dropping a steep 56% to 4th place with $6.1M, and the critically mixed hellboy dropping another 47% to 8th place with a $3M haul. neither film looks to be profitable in its domestic box office release. (finally saw hellboy on friday night. they managed to get everything right... except for the main plotline. a missed opportunity, but ron perlman's turn as hellboy is probably worth the ticket price alone.)

corridor redux: last week (i think) we mentioned sarnath banerjee's new graphic novel corridor from penguin books india, which has been picking up a lot of momentum in the press. here's two pieces, one from the bangladesh daily star: "Still, I thought I was too old to enjoy a graphic novel. That is, until I opened Sarnath Banerjee's corridor, which is set in Delhi and Calcutta, and has Brighu, Digital Dutta and Jehangir Rangoonwalla as the main characters-- proof that the senses respond more fully when art incorporates the familiar and local." and another piece from the UK-based outlookindia.com: "Banerjee's work highlights the growing relevance of comic books as a legit literary medium, moving beyond its traditional roles—humour, action, fantasy. Corridor's plot sounds like a standard Indo-Anglian novel, centering around a second-hand bookstore in old Delhi where a variety of eccentric souls converge in search of anything from Keats to aphrodisiacs."

retailer in the news: yojo's comics, a relatively new direct market retailer hailing from lawrenceville, georgia is profiled in the georgian gwinnett daily post: "[Joseph] Lawson, who has collected comics books since childhood and has accumulated a collection numbering more than 40,000, opened Yojo’s Comics when he was a senior at Central Lawrenceville Gwinnett High School. Poor customer service at other facilities prompted him to start his own comic book store, he said. 'I was displeased with the service I got at nearby comic book stores and I decided I could do a better job. I was still in high school when I rented the space and had a grand opening one month after graduation. I was 18 years old,' said Lawson."

danger zone: fraction and i got a laugh out of this earlier: "Kurt Busiek, Roger Stern, Scott Lobdell and Dan Jurgens were four of the most instrumental, innovative people at Marvel between 1998 and 2000. They took the marketing disaster that was Heroes Reborn, and replaced it with a fun, refreshing, swift take on the heroes; some of the best I've ever read. But enter Joe Quesada and Marvel Knights, and clearly, we get a different picture. Marvel Knights crated a sometimes clever, but mostly dark, slow-moving take on superheroes, one that eventually migrated to the main line when Quesada became EIC. Since the dawn of the Quemas Era and now into the 2000s, virtually every comic book has been polluted with this sense of 'elitism.' Almost everything is written in Alan Moore's way (Joe Quesada even said this was his intention), everything is a deconstruction of superheroes, everything is controversial, everything is 'artsy.'" more where that came from at silverbulletcomicbooks.com.

new review: alan moore's magic words

"Alan Moore's been involved in music longer than he's been involved in comics -- his formative influence was in the community of Arts Labs in Britain in the Sixties and Seventies, where cultural mix-and-match was encouraged. His songwriting goes from the affecting, like Town of Lights, to... well, The March Of The Sinister Ducks isn't collected here, but it's pretty much the polar opposite to anything."

local boy done good: the lynn north shore sunday out of peabody, massachusetts takes a look at ipswich native scott allie, who's garnered some attention thanks to the recent hellboy film: "Not on the big screen but on paper. Former Ipswich resident Scott Allie is working on a comic book collection called Hellboy: Odder Jobs. His tale will be based on Hellboy's investigation of the Ipswich floods. Hellboy's on-screen friends Abe and Liz will accompany him on this adventure. Allie, who graduated from Ipswich High School in 1987, now lives in Portland, Ore., where he works as a writer and editor for Dark Horse Comics. But he talks to his mother, Debbie Kafulides, each week. When she told him about the recent spring floods, Allie asked her to send photos that the artist could use as a model for his story."
