COMICS ON THE RACK
Quick Picks for Comics Due 06-23-10
By John Judy
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #635 by Lotsa People. Now that they've killed that Spider-Woman nobody ever heard of it's the Kravens versus the Spiders! It's on!
AMERICAN VAMPIRE #4 by Scott Snyder, Stephen King and Rafael Albuquerque. Fangs will fly as Skinner and Pearl each bring it to their adversaries! No sparkling vampires here! Guaranteed and recommended!
ARCHIE: THE BEST OF DAN DeCARLO, VOL.1 HC by DeCarlo. Great all-ages material from the ARCHIE veteran and creator of Josie and the Pussycats. Recommended.
ARTICHOKE TALES HC written and drawn by Megan Kelso. A multi-generational fantasy epic about people with artichoke leaves for hair. Pretty and goes great with melted butter. From Fantagraphics.
AVENGERS #2 by Brian Michael Bendis and John Romita Jr. Why is Wonder Man being such a jerk to the Avengers? Is the whole "hippie haircut/being made of Kirby dots thing" finally getting to him?
BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM: MADNESS HC written and drawn by Sam Keith. In which we spend 24 hours in Gotham City's notorious nut-hatch with our tour guide Mr. Keith. Recommended.

BOOK OF MR. NATURAL HC written and drawn by Robert Crumb. Featuring the best of Crumb's iconic underground hero. Another winner from Fantagraphics.
DETECTIVE COMICS #866 by Dennis O'Neil and Dustin Ngyuen. Legendary Bat-scribe O'Neil takes us on a journey through Dick Grayson's career as Robin and the new Dark Knight! Gotta look!
FANTASTIC FOUR #580 by Jonathan Hickman and Neil Edwards. Arcade! Impossible Man! Swedish nannies! It's kitchen sink time at the Baxter Building! Nuff said!
GARTH ENNIS BATTLEFIELDS #7 of 9 by Ennis and Russ Braun. Another BATTLEFIELDS character returns. This time it's Lt. Anna Kharkova from the earlier "Night Witches." The Soviet pilot is looking to get back in action against the Nazis, since the alternative is staying on the ground to face Stalin's secret police. Highly recommended.
GREEN ARROW #1 by J.T. Krul and Diogenes Neves. Ollie Queen is back in every way, ready to rid the Star City forest of all manner of ne'er do well, no-goodnik and brigand!
HULK #23 by Jeph Loeb, Ed McGuinness and Lotsa Other Artists. Because it takes a team of artists to draw the super-duper secret origin of the Red Hulk! No milk-sops!
INCORRUPTIBLE #7 by Mark Waid and Jean Diaz. Walking the straight and narrow has never been harder for Max Damage, especially since he keeps slipping on all the blood…. Recommended.
JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST #4 by Keith Giffen, Judd Winick and Aaron Lopresti. So far the misfits of the DCU are getting their watches wound by their former benefactor-turned-evil Maxwell Lord. But the new Blue Beetle's in the picture and things could change. Very decent super-stuff.
KEVIN SMITH'S GREEN HORNET #5 by Smith and Jonathan Lau. The all-new Green Hornet is on the job! Unfortunately he's got a ton of stuff to learn and everyone wants to kill him. Tough gig.
LEGION OF SUPERHEROES #2 by Paul Levitz and Yildiray Cinar. Missing children and Green Lanterns! The drama don't stop in the 31st century ruckus house we call the LSH!

SEA BEAR AND GRIZZLY SHARK #1 by Ryan Ottley and Jason Howard. Image Comics was founded to publish stuff like this.
SUPERMAN #700 by Everyone. Tons of tales by Super-scribes of recent yore, tying up loose ends and running out fresh line. See where new Supes author J. Michael Straczynski is looking to take Earth's greatest hero! Highly recommended.
THUNDERBOLTS #145 by Jeff Parker and Kev Walker. Luke Cage's new Thunderbolts must defeat the girl known as "Troll!" And the internets will be better for it!
ULTIMATE COMICS AVENGERS 2 #4 by Mark Millar and Leinil Francis Yu. Time for Ultimate Ghost Rider to get his! And… is that Zombie-Spidey I see?
WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #14 by Jason Aaron and Ron Garney. Claws! Deathlok's got claws! Big, light saber-lookin' ones too! Recommended.
X-FACTOR #206 by Peter David and Valentine DeLandro. The whole team's back together to put a big smack on the haters! Embiggened fight!

PR: Swann Foundation Fellowship Awards Announced
Library of Congress

Swann Foundation Announces Awards for 2010-2011
The Caroline and Erwin Swann Foundation for Caricature and Cartoon, administered by the Library of Congress, announces fellowship awards to two applicants for the academic year 2010-2011: Leora Maltz-Leca and Jeffreen M. Hayes.
Because of an unusually large number of strong applications, the foundation's advisory board did not award a single fellowship this year but instead decided to support two applicants' projects with smaller awards.
Maltz-Leca, an assistant professor of contemporary art, history of art and visual culture at the Rhode Island School of Design, will receive a fellowship to support her post-doctoral research on her dissertation titled "William Kentridge: Process as Metaphor and Other Doubtful Enterprises." In her proposed book project, she will analyze the animated cartoons of Kentridge, a South African artist born in 1955, whom she credits largely with bringing drawing in general—and the drawing of cartoons in particular—to the forefront of contemporary international art.
Kentridge is well-known for a signature creative process that he describes as "stone age." In this process, Kentridge continuously draws and erases schematic subjects on a single charcoal drawing, all the time taking photographs of his changing drawing. He then films his photographic records and, thereby, produces film narratives that often feature his stock characters Soho Teitelbaum and Felix Eckstein, both caricatures of apartheid-era stereotypes. Such figures can be seen to stem from earlier European models of political caricature.
Maltz-Leca aims to explore Kentridge's relationship to the aesthetics of cartooning in general and to 19th and 20th century European political cartoonists represented in the Library's strong collections of cartoon drawings and prints. The sequential-mode and serial approach that characterizes Kentridge's creative process, his early cartoon strips of action figures and his numerous flipbooks all affirm technical parallels with cartoon art.
Hayes, a doctoral candidate in American studies at the College of William and Mary, will receive a fellowship to support her proposed investigation into African American cartoonists who challenge and broaden notions of blackness while commenting on political and social structures in white America.
African American cartoonists from 1930-2009 who have been selected for her study include Oliver W. Harrington (1912-1995), E. Simms Campbell (1906-1971), Brumsic Brandon (born in 1927), Keith Knight (born in 1966), Darrin Bell (born in 1975) and Aaron McGruder (born in 1974). These artists represent pioneers in cartoon and comic art as well as emerging contemporary creators in the field.
Hayes' project will provide a contextual framework for her dissertation titled "Real Talk: Interrogations of Blackness and Whiteness in African American Post-Soul Visual and Popular Culture," which focuses particularly on McGruder.
During the next academic year, Maltz-Leca and Hayes will conduct research primarily in the rich holdings of graphic art of the Library's Prints and Photographs Division.
New York advertising executive Erwin Swann (1906 1973) established the Swann Foundation for Caricature and Cartoon in 1967. An avid collector, Swann assembled a large group of original drawings by more than 500 artists, spanning two centuries, which his estate bequeathed to the Library of Congress in the 1970s. Swann's original purpose was to build a collection of original drawings by significant creators of humorous and satiric art and to encourage the study of original cartoon and caricature drawings as works of art. The foundation's support of research and academic publication is carried out in part through a program of fellowships.

OT: Al Capp notes - what do they all mean?
Don K has sent me some handwritten notes by Al Capp, but I can't help him figuring out what the topic is. Capp's strip was Li'l Abner, which as he aged, was ghosted by people like Frank Frazetta. Capp also moved across the political spectrum from high liberal to arch conservative.
Don writes, "I will be much interested in what you make of all this... maybe it will make more sense to you (or to somebody)."
If anyone has any idea what Capp's writing about, please post in the comments.
