Links: Disney goes digital-first

November 5, 2012 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

Zack Giallongo talks about his first graphic novel, Broxo, a fantasy tale with zombies, which came out last month from First Second.

Chris Schweizer talks about his series The Crogan Adventures, which follows different ancestors of the same family during different periods in history. His latest, Crogan’s Loyalty, features two brothers on opposite sides of the American Revolution.

J. Torres discusses his collaboration with Faith Erin Hicks on his latest graphic novel, Bigfoot Boy.

Disney has been releasing its movie tie-in comics as digital apps rather than in print; Todd Allen takes a look at that trend at Publishers Weekly.

The city of Dundee, Scotland, is planning on naming a street Bash Street, after the Bash Street Kids, popular characters in the long-running UK comic The Beano (which is published by Dundee-based DC Thompson).
