Links: Look who’s coming to Riverdale!

September 22, 2010 by Brigid Alverson   2 comments

At Publishers Weekly Comics Week, Calvin Reid takes a look at Lerner’s Graphic Universe line, which has built up from a handful of graphic novels in 2006 to a robust line that includes some of the best kids’ comics around. If you associate Lerner with stodgy educational children’s books, take another look; graphic novels like Guinea Pig: Pet Shop Private Eye, The Elsewhere Chronicles, and Nola’s World, as well as their excellent myths-and-legends series, really stand alone as great books in their own right.

President Barack Obama and former Alaska governor (and vice-presidential candidate) Sarah Palin are heading to Riverdale for a showdown in the latest issue of Archie.

At Robot 6, Chris Mautner interviews Aaron Renier, the author of The Unsinkable Walker Bean.

This is great news: Mark Andrew Smith and Matthew Weldon are putting the first volume of their fantasy-adventure tale The New Brighton Archeological Society online for free. The first 22 pages are up now, and the book will continue to be serialized for the next year.
