Preview of Fantagraphics' Barnaby by Crockett Johnson Vol. 1

As a fan of Crockett Johnson's children's books, such as "Harold and the Purple Crayon," I've been looking forward to this one for a long time: A collection of Johnson's newspaper strip, Barnaby, from the excellent folks at Fantagraphics.

You can get a preview and some behind-the-scenes details on the first volume, out in March or April, here.

Video: Justice Collective - He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother

Background:

The Justice Collective is an all-star aggregation of artists, mainly but not entirely from Liverpool, gathered by producer Guy Chambers to raise funds for the legal battles still being endured by the families of 96 Liverpool Football Club fans killed in the infamous 1989 tragedy at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield.
The track features contributions from such local heroes as Sir Paul McCartney, Gerry Marsden (Gerry & the Pacemakers), Holly Johnson (Frankie Goes To Hollywood), Melanie Chisholm (Spice Girls), Peter Hooton (The Farm), John Power (Cast) and Rebecca Ferguson plus other notables including Robbie Williams, Paloma Faith, Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze), Mick Jones (Clash, Big Audio Dynamite et al) and Beverley Knight.
