| Little Scrowlie joins SLG - 26/12/2002 |
SLG publisher Bob Simpkins announced this week that the self-published series Little Scrowlie would be joining Slave Labor Graphics' line of titles, starting in March 2003.
Little Scrowlie came to life in 1999, when Jennifer Feinberg and Todd Meister began publishing these whimsical and satirical tales of suburban Goth culture through their own label, Chi Comics. Through convention appearances, internet sales, and eventually limited comic-book store distribution through Cold Cut and Last Gasp, the series developed a cult following, but only saw about one issue published per year. Freed from the business obligations of self-publishing and distributing, Jen and Todd expect their productivity to increase considerably in the months to come.

| Newtype USA #1 A Roaring Success - 19/12/2002 |
Newtype USA: The Moving Pictures Magazine has launched with a roar in Australia! Within a month of its release, issue one is no longer available from the official Australian distributor, Madman Entertainment.
Imported from Japan for years by collectors, Newtype has long been known as the magazine with the latest and greatest anime news. Well respected by the Japanese studios and with almost 20 years in publication, ADV Films of the U.S. worked aggressively to ensure Newtype received an English language release. The sell-out success of issue one in the U.S. led to a doubling of the print run for issue two. With copies of issue one disappearing quickly from the shelves, its reputation as the “must-have” magazine for the anime fan seems well deserved.

| The Rawhide Kid Rides Again - 10/12/2002 |
The NY Post has is running an article on The Rawhide Kid, who made his comics debut in the 1950s and will soon be blasting his way out of the closet. The Kid will be revealed as a gay gunslinger in a new series that Marvel editor in chief Joe Quesada has dubbed "the first gay Western". The Marvel honcho said the Kid won't make any pronouncements about his sexual orientation but promised readers will "know it from the moment you see him."
"It's a classic Western, like ‘Shane,' but with a gay twist," said series writer Ron Zimmerman. While the story has "a comedic slant," Zimmerman said he hopes the 21st-century kid is "an empowering character that the gay community would be able to embrace."
