Odds and Ends as a new Weekend Begins
Yesterday’s Arts section of The New York Times included capsule descriptions of four comics-related books. I was thrilled to note that two of them were mine. Lumping all four books together under the banner of filling in the blanks for readers, they included The DC Comics Encyclopedia, Superman: Birthright, Locas, and Strangers in Paradise Treasury Edition. Nice press. Locas the mammoth hardcover collecting Jaime Hernandez’s Maggie stories from Love & Rockets, looks terrific. It is something I feel I must own. Terry Moore’s Strangers remains a must read for me and I hope the book broadens his audience.
My two reading pals both gave enthusiastic thumbs up to “Command Code” and all I have left to do is clean up grammar and fix the niggling items they found and it’ll be done. A good feeling, that.
I was invited to pitch to another media tie-in anthology with some strict guidelines. Fortunately, an idea has taken hold and it just might fit the bill if I can work out the logistics, including a satisfying ending.
Today was a productive day at DC. Started a new collection and have done everything necessary for it and can let it rest until the intro arrives. If only every collection came together so painlessly. Got in the final color proofs from Wendy Pini on the second ElfQuest Archives and I was thrilled to see the growth in her work. There is more subtlety to the work and each scene and locale has a specific look. I’m rather impressed. Best part is, when it goes to Hong Kong on Monday, we’re on schedule!
