My scary god-daughter is Hayley Campbell here and working on a book about "The Art Of Neil Gaiman" or something and now she's gone
... maddy gaiman is so cool .....
(I have stopped blogging and had just shot a round with the dogs. I'm sure it was not there when I left.)
(For this is a picture of Maddy Gaiman and Hayley Campbell of past week. Maddy with Hayley's hat.)
Well, Hayley has gone to the store, where it matters scanned and sorted through old art and faxes, and then I should explain why I subscribed in the 80's vampire rabbit, and then to Steve Bissette I faxed.
And it also takes art off the wall and scan them.
Where art was on the walls, there are now randomly distributed post-it note, which is described on which hung there. I feel like I'm stuck in a novel by Philip K. Dick.
...
I would like to advertise a book. I got a free edition and found it all right, because it is a vast and impressive book. Then I read it and am even more pleased.
It is really very difficult. And it is very good. Here is a photo of it, made me laugh because it's a coffee table book and the course of the entire coffee table occupies.
The book is called " 75 Years of DC Comics : the Art of Modern Mythmaking" and was published by the bag, in a precious style, as I have not seen it by publishers of comics. Page pull-out, beautiful reproductions of ancient works of art, curiosities, wonders, along with the history of DC comics from the early days. The bulk of the text (though probably not all --- there are legends, timelines and the like) is from Paul Levitz, who knows where the bodies are buried and also is a gentleman very much, to tell everything, but more telling , accepted than I ever would have. It weighs 15 pounds (7 kg) and has its own carrying case.
The effort was put into production, is remarkable - as already mentioned. You raise the bar for what comic publishers can do in the future.
This is the view Pocket Books- website to the book, here you can also put the first 100 pages in a pop-up window.
There is also a great picture of Paul on the pocket side, as he presents the book makes him a bit like a garden gnome look, holding a normal sized book.
Paul Levitz is a normal sized person and not a dwarf.
And it has a Marc Hempel The Sandman drawing on the back, along with five iconic super hero and the Swamp Thing. You have no idea how happy that makes me.
The only negative, I start to dream of a complete all-books-in-a-Sandman-book with 2000 pages in pocket-quality, so as I have already proposed over the years, DC Comics from time to time. They always shake when I spoke of it. (It would also have its own suitcase can. Or wheels. Or screw-on legs to make a coffee table from them.)
Actually, this is not the only negative. The other is that I have with possession of Book note that there are actually people who are now buying as the ultimate Weihnachts-/Hannukkah-/Wintersonnenwendengeschenk. It is really expensive. But it is the perfect gift.
Here is the link to Amazon , if you look at it once you want. You have a discount. (But it's still not cheap. It weighs about 50 cents per ounce.)
Here is a link to the Independent so that you can support your local bookseller.
And, most likely your has local comic books shop also an issue. (Here you can find local comic book dealer.)

Then to kick where deals are made, to turn an animated film of my story "The Price". Are you are advised in 983 donors and $ 68,000. Almost half are already there.
I am thrilled and amazed that it ran so far so good, and I think Christopher Salmon is not different.
He however still needs more sponsors. We have 12 days. If you have a blog, you can blog it up or grab the widget of the page? If you have a news page, do an interview with Chris and write about to involve more people. Twitter about it. Speech on Facebook about it and tell it to the people. to make
To get even more courage, I was just on the side of last.fm and have a full version of "The Price" from the album "Speaking in Tongues" is set:
