The Atlantic has Christopher Hitchens’s final piece for them, and it’s a characteristically smart, ultimately devastating look at G.K. Chesterton.

•  Last year, we interviewed Rebecca Gates; more recently, she and her band The Consortium recorded a cover of Cool’R’s “Dangerous.” It’s pretty catchy.

• The Savage Critics have photos up of some pretty sweet Jack Kirby tattoos.

• We are also big fans of the work of David Ohle (see our review of his Boons/The Camp), and as such are glad to hear that Dzanc will be releasing his next novel in 2013.
