Archaia Studios Press has posted some study guides to A. David Lewis and m p Mann’s Lone and Level Sands here. I wrote the introduction to the book and contributed to the advanced study guide (direct link). This is notable not just for its educational value, but also because it’s the first time (in print anyway) I’ve been labeled a “heretic.” While this still takes a backseat to being called a “dirtbag” by a Virginia Beach Police officer while in high school, it’s definitely notable.

ICv2 News – First Second’s Mark Siegel on ‘American Born Chinese’
Despite what one might assume solely from reading the tons and tons of (well-deserved) interviews with recent National Book Award nominee Gene Yang, the man did not materialize ex-nihilo on the front stoop of First Second publishing. He self-published comics for a bit and was the recipient of the Xeric Grant, and then was published by Slave Labor Graphics.
Just getting that out there…

From a recent interview with Ailene Crumb, wife of Robert (or just “R.” apparently these days) Crumb in which she’s asked about her involvement in the early Wimmens Comix movement:
DRE: What do those women think of your relationship with Robert?AC: Trina Robbins hates my guts. She thought Robert was the ultimate male chauvinist pig and she didn’t approve of me going out with him. So that started back then.DRE: Even today?AC: Two facelifts later and she can’t get over her anger. What can I tell you? She still holds a grudge towards me. It’s not mutual. I don’t care at all, but she for some reason, has hung onto that one.
Call me crazy, but it seems like maybe it is mutual…
