§ Neil Gaiman with an ultimate “Nobody knows anything” story
§ Listen to Bob Sikoryak talk about Tintin on NPR (Link via Peggy)
§ Warren Ellis reviews Paul Pope.
PULPHOPE, a monograph by Paul Pope, is officially released on June 25. I got hold of a PDF of the book a couple of months back. You need this book. It is Pure. It manages to be a complete statement and a work in progress all at once: a report from the borders of comics, Paul Pope’s view of the territory before he plunges on into the bush, hacking his way through the dark in pursuit of the new and the beautiful. It’s a million pages long and it’s going to take me years to understand it all. And that’s what I want from a book. And so do you. So buy it.
• BTW we are still collecting CARTOONISTS DOING THINGS photos…for a future extravaganza. And by the way “doing things” doesn’t mean “standing next to a celebrity.” Come on now, people.

I’m surprised Neil Gaiman doesn’t realize that Hollywood executives get rotated out of their positions regularly. In short if a studio passed on your project one year it may greenlight it a couple years later when a whole new mindset of executives has been replaced.
I used to really like Paul Pope, but haven’t read anything of his in years (although I’ve tried at times to find it, unsuccessfully). I thought he was really cutting edge when THB came out, and his style looks like it’s really improved over the years. I’ll try to pick this up.
paul pope is one of those creators that gets my $$ every time he has new work out.
