An interesting story on Frank Miller at the Guardian. Miller raves about his experience co-directing Sin City and goes so far as to say he expects to direct on his own at some point. He also says he is working with Robert Rodriguez on a sequel. Continue Reading
The Living Comic blog writes today about what may or may not be an Andy Kaufmanesque marketing campaing for the decidedly lo-fi webcomic, Scribs by Greg Galcik. The use of banners and ads to mock the site hosting the banners and ads is nothing new of course (for example check out any archived page of the old bigpanda.net) but when done well is at least one way to break through the ocean of webcomics out there.

Joey Manley’s Webcomics Nation service for webcomics is getting closer to an official launch. Manley wrote in the Talkaboutcomics blog that several sites are “live” for testing purposes.

There is something really appealing about the way Jeff Rowland has “crossed-over” his purely fictional webcomic, WIGU with his “journal” webcomic (imagine me making those annoying finger quotes when I say journal) Overcompensating.

Counsel for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund have submitted four motions to dismiss the charges against retailer Gordon Lee, owner of Legends in Rome, GA. Last February, the Fund initiated Lee’s defense against charges resulting from accidentally distributing Alternative Comics #2, a Free Comic Book Day book from 2004, to a minor. The anthology includes the story “The Salon” by Nick Bertozzi, which contains a segment depicting Picasso in the nude. The Fund has already spent in excess of $20,000 defending this case.
CBLDF filed four motions on May 2. The first motion seeks to dismiss the John Doe counts. The second seeks to dismiss both felony counts under the rule of lenity, which requires that when a defendant is charged with a felony and a misdemeanor for the same conduct, the lesser penalty must apply. The third motion seeks to dismiss the felony counts on the grounds that Georgia’s Distribution of Material Depicting Nudity or Sexual Conduct is unconstitutional on its face and as applied. The fourth motion seeks to dismiss the misdemeanor counts of Distribution of Material Harmful to Minors on the grounds that the law is unconstitutional on its face and as applied to this case.
