+ Michael Cho just got out of the hospital after a fairly serious bout of illness. Cho is known around town for some great comics, but is probably more familiar to my international readers for his inks on this week’s New Frontier Special. Speedy recovery sir! There are comics to draw.
+ Doug Wright has been in the comics news as of late. First up, Drawn + Quarterly have been publishing previews (one, two) of their forthcoming biography of this Canadian cartoonist little known outside of Canada. Then, just this week a fellow named John Adcock found a number of his comics on microfilm, and decided to post them to his blog.
+ Sequential is a Canadian comics news and linkblog that, for whatever reason, I hadn’t yet added to my blogroll. I’ve rectified that now, go visit today.
