Drew Ford has spent the last few years of his life dedicated to bringing classic out of circulation comics and graphic novels back in print in beautiful restored editions. A fierce advocate for creators such as Sam Glanzman, Drew has brought back multiple books of his work, a graphic novel from David Michelinie, another graphic novel from ComicMix’s own Denny O’Neil, and many more. This was originally done through Dover Publications until Drew founded It’s Alive! Press, an imprint of Idw.
Drew’s latest project is bringing Family Man, by Jerome Charyn and Joe Staton, back in print through a Kickstarter campaign. You can view the campaign here.
I got the chance to interview Joe Staton this past weekend about Family Man.

R.I.P. Arthur Curry– better known to the rest of the comics reading world as Aquaman.
In today’s Dick Tracy comic strip, by DC Comics veteran Joe Staton and Mike Curtis, aquarium director Arthur Curry is revealed to have been murdered. Arthur Curry is the secret identity of Aquaman. Even miscolored, you’ll notice the resemblence, right down to the scales on his shirt.
Curry was killed by a villain named Phishface a few strips earlier. We look forward to Dick Tracy bringing the killer to justice in the days and weeks ahead– and we are even more amazed that the killer wasn’t Geoff Johns.

Remember Warren Beatty’s Dick Tracy movie? It was released 21 years ago, and as movies go, it was somewhat south of Gone With The Wind.
But according to a federal court in Los Angeles, Beatty retains the movie and teevee rights to Dick Tracy – because he appeared in his Dick Tracy costume on a teevee interview that was filmed in 2008.
That was the year Beatty sued the Tribune Company to prevent the owners from taking back the media rights after 18 years of dormancy. “The court found that Warren did everything that was required of him to retain the rights,” Beatty’s lawyer, Charles Shephard, said. Tribune spokesman Gary Weitman said, logically, “At the present time, we are reviewing the judge’s opinion and evaluating our options.”
The Dick Tracy newspaper strip, in constant syndication since 1931, was revitalized last week when artist Joe Staton and writer Mike Curtis took over the feature.

Long-time Dick Tracy aficionado Joe Staton will be taking the classic Dick Tracy newspaper strip following the retirement of long-time artist Dick Locher after March 13.
That’s the right man for the job. Of course, this writer made that suggestion to the newspaper syndicate 27 years ago. Joe should be admired for his patience as well as his craft.
Staton is well-known for his work on such comics characters as Superman, Spider-Man, E-Man, Green Lantern, the Justice Society, The Avengers, The Hulk, The Huntress, Scooby-Doo, Plastic Man … well, you get the point.
What this means is, unlike Brenda Starr and Little Orphan Annie, Tribune Media Services is not canceling Dick Tracy – contrary to rumor.
Joe will be joined by writer Mike Curtis.

Breathless turned 50 just once this year, but Psycho's celebrating its anniversary twice — first with a re-release in the UK back in April and again right now with an eleven-part "Director's Spotlight" series on Alfred Hitchcock at PopMatters. Along with two pieces on Psycho (Francesc Quilis and Despina Kakoudaki) and "Hitchcock 101," a sort of series within the series, Michael Curtis Nelson considers Blackmail and "the Birth of the British Talkies" and Benjamin Aspray notes the "Difference of Laughter Between British and American Hitchcock."...
