Comicking Extra, 31 March

Collected comics art, news, snippets and stories of note. The easter egg extras that don't make it to my regular columns, but are a tasty treat nonetheless.

 The Best Comic of 2009 - Well Du'uh!

Phonogram - The Singles Club

My copy arrives tomorrow through Amazon. The Best Comic of 2009. Is The Best Comic. Is. The Best. Order it.

There's a free version of Issue 1 available online. Up there.

Related: Writer Kieron Gillen talks to John Parker about The End of Phonogram. Gillen is on top form again: Right-on creative politics, play dead gestures with howls, a provocateur sowing securities. This touched me as a bit of historic comics journalism. The piece is a fortnight old, so there have already been vebalised consequences to the talk of a patronage system.

I would like Series 3 please.
