Links: Kawaii Five-0

October 10, 2011 by Katherine Dacey   Leave a Comment

Coming soon from HarperCollins: I Love Kawaii, a book exploring cute, Japanese-influenced artwork from around the world. Our own Brigid Alverson argues that I Love Kawaii “goes way beyond Hello Kitty to show just how interesting, creative, and even edgy kawaii art can be.”

Mark your calendars: Sunday, October 16th is Kids’ Day at New York Comic-Con. Highlights include a panel hosted by Art Baltazar and Franco, the award-winning duo behind DC’s Tiny Titans, and Drawing Star Wars, a workshop hosted by Bonnie Burton and Katie Cook.

Manga Bookshelf founder Melinda Beasi reflects on censorship and comics at the Comic Book Defense League Fund’s website. “It seems outrageous to imagine that in an age when civil liberty is so loudly trumpeted and treasured that a person could be arrested, imprisoned, and legally stigmatized for life because of his or her thoughts,” she notes. “Yet cases… prove this to be not only possible — but even likely — if those thoughts are being expressed and shared with others in the form of comics.”

Sailor Moon is back again and posting strong sales figures: the first volumes of Codename: Sailor V and Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon topped Nielsen’s monthly list of graphic novel best sellers.

And speaking of graphic novel sales, ICv2 takes a closer look at the impact of Borders’ going-out-of-business sales on the comics industry.
