I was reading the New York Times today, and whammo - on the front page of the Arts section, I saw this article about a new line of comics by DC designed for teenage girls.
And I am impressed, as both the idea and the talent involved seem to be top notch.
The first graphic novel, The P.L.A.I.N. Janes, is written by a popular novelist, Cecil Castellucci, but the art is being done by Jim Rugg, who I was just telling you folks how awesome he was just a couple of days ago!!! Talk about serendipity! And the editor who seems to be most involved with Minx seems to be Shelly Bond, who was an awesome Vertigo editor.
And the Times even interviewed Johanna Draper Carlson for the article, which I thought was a nice touch!
All in all, it's a real treat to find staring back at you when you read your weekend New York Times!
