I passed on Chicago this year, as did the rest of Mercury Studios, so I don’t have much, or anything really, in the way of incidents or anecdotes to report. But here are a bunch of direct links to some swanky contributions to the Dave Cockrum benefit auction. Have fun browsing: Neal Adams | Sergio Aragones | Terry Austin | Mark Bagley | John Bogdanove | Steve Buccelleto | John Cassaday | Travis Charest | Darwyn Cooke | Alan Davis pencils | Robin Riggs’ inks over Davis | Mike Deodato | Will Eisner | Gary Frank | Dave Gibbons | Mike Grell | Phil Hester and Ande parks | Mike Kaluta and Bob Wiacek | Raphael Kayanan | Jim Lee | Steve Lieber (who?) | Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez | David Mazzucchelli: The Beast | Mazzucchelli: Wolverine | Bob McLeod | Steve McNiven | Jerry Ordway | Sean Phillips | John Romita Sr. | Dave Sim | Walt Simonson | Ben Templesmith | Herb Trimpe | J.H.Williams The Comic Art Battle was a hoot. I’ll have some pictures and what recollections I can recollect in a day or so. And I’m glad to say that there are still more eleven-for-the-library lists. Keep them coming. Tangognat’s compiled list is going to be a very useful resource. I’ve already heard from a number of librarians about this. Scott R. at All Ages That last name is a new one in the blogosphere. David’s just started his own online timesink, Yet Another Comics Blog. Everyone must give him clicks and links. Andrea Speed of Comixtreme has interviewed Matthew Clark.

Those of you who are interested in helping out can order the tribute book . A few posts back I suggested that, for purely practical reasons, activist energy would be better spent on supporting black and white, creator-owned titles than full-color, work-for-hire, corporate books. Ken Lowery has taken this to heart. He and some other bloggers are giving away a pile of cool books and such to promote titles they think are worthy of your attention. This time around it’s Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan’s Demo. |
