New Indy Comic Zine. Indy Magazine has ceased printing its publication and launched a new monthly Internet magazine about alternative and independent comic books, at www.indyworld.com. The premiere on-line issue features interviews with Dexter's Laboratory creator Genndy Tartakovsky and comic artists Brian Biggs, Ed Brubaker, Peter Bagge and Chris Ware. The magazine's editors are Jeff Mason and Chris Waldron. Mason said many factors led to the decision to publish strictly on-line, a key reason being "that we reach more people on the Web than we ever did in our five years of print."

Animated Life, a new bi-monthly print magazine from Vizion Publishing, will launch its premiere issue in August, in time for the San Diego Comic-Con. The first issue will include an actual cel featuring the cast of characters from the upcoming Marvel Superhero block on UPN. Subsequent issues will feature additional collectibles such as lithographs, stamps and trading cards. The magazine is the creation of publishing consultant Josh Hvizdos, editor Todd Hoffer and Joe Cesaro, president of animation art distributor Sunday Funnies, Inc.
