SF Tidbits for 4/13/09

• Great Scott! Apparently Joe Shuster, one of the creators of Superman, once drew “hundreds of racy, violent and sadomasochistic cartoons“.
• At Tor.com, John Joseph profiles Hammer of God by Karen Miller.
• Fast Forward interviews David Weber (Storm from the Shadows).
• Lines and Colors profiles artist Richard Amsel, the man behind the marquee posters for Flash (Ah-Aaaaah!) Gordon and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
• Winners of the BVC Twitter-Fic contest have been announced.
• io9 lists 11 Scifi Resurrections.
• Controversy of the day: Amazon de-ranks so-called adult books, including National Book Award winner. Or was it a glitch? See reactions from John Scalzi, Mark R. Probst, S. Andrew Swann, and Sean Williams, as well as CNet and a whole bunch of Twitter Tweets.[UPDATE: It was a hack!]
