Links: High drama in Riverdale

Christopher Irving interviews Smile creator Raina Telgemeier at the Graphic NYC blog.

Brent Kellmer talks to Howard Tayler, creator of the kid-friendly webcomic Schlock Mercenary, for the Internet Review of Science Fiction. (Via Journalista.)

The Italian magazine Scuola di Fumetto interviews Bone creator Jeff Smith (in English)

"Global manga," that is, manga-style comics produced outside of Japan, gets a bad rap in some circles, but there’s a lot of quality work out there, and Kate Dacey rounds up ten of the best (plus a few honorable mentions) at The Manga Critic.

The Toon Books blog provides a bit of advance buzz for Benny and Penny in The Toy Breaker.

At The Graphic Classroom, Kevin Hodgson highlights a website that shows how the Nelson Mandela graphic novel was made.

High drama reigns in Riverdale, with the New Look graphic novel My Father’s Betrayal, which pits Veronica against Mr. Lodge in a struggle for the very soul of Riverdale. Too heavy for you? Relax with these previews of upcoming comics, or head down to the comic store and pick up a copy of The Cartoon Life of Chuck Clayton.
