I’ve known of these books for a while now, Ronnie was singing their praises a while back and man was he right. After reading Gus I finally broke down and had to get to these other books by Christophe Blain. What amazingly compelling story he has created here! Stunning drawing and wonderful writing that make [...]

Here it is! The ALTERNATIVE PRESS EXPO is happening this weekend in San Francisco’s Concourse center. Venice Chronicles is officially debuting at this convention and I will be sharing the table with friends Ronnie del Carmen, Dice Tsutsumi and Scott Morse. Tons of great books like Paper Biscuit, Out of Picture and Tiger!Tiger!Tiger!. We even [...]

I think some comic book stores might have received copies of Venice Chronicles today. Did any of you by any chance see it on shelves? Any sightings? One sure thing is that, for those of you in Toronto, the excellent comic store “The Beguiling” has plenty of ‘em in stock today!

Just got this book up in Portland and wow, what an amazing read. Don’t miss this, you might have heard of or read Blain’s Isaac the Pirate, this book is another gem. He takes the genre and turns it upside down, pushes the stuff of westerns way in the background and focuses on clueless men [...]

I don’t know who this strange bearded man is, but strangely he’s holding the Venice Chronicles with one of the bookplates mounted! I think this one order is going to Venice if I am not mistaken … to Leornardo (Grazie Leo, it’s on its way). I’ve sent a lot of orders these last couple of [...]

It’s become tradition for us selfpublishing friends here at Pixar to take photos of the opening of the first box of books. Here’s some coverage of it all, even with a shot of the first customer: Nate Stanton! Yay, thanks Nate. In the second to last shot, you can see the Venice Chronicles in good [...]

2085 copies of the Venice Chronicles have just been delivered!! Yay! Wow, 58 boxes of books, my back is gonna be a little sore tonight. Anyway … they look great, at 144 pages it’s a nice and hefty book. Order yours today!! I will also start shipping the pre-orders as soon as I can! More [...]

Scott Morse‘s wonderful (believe me I have a preview copy right here) new book Tiger!Tiger!Tiger! is available for preorder on Amazon! I especially like this latest autobiographical tale from Scott. And you know, it’s always good to save on shipping, bundle it with some other title like this or that. Coff coff …

Started to work on bookplates this weekend … Sumo Enrico, Yoga Enrico, all sorts of silly Enricos. Many of you have pre-ordered the Venice Chronicles with the bookplate option (thank you, I hope you will like these), but I think I might have to call them sold out real soon. For now I planning to [...]

Books go on sale in just a few hours from the Totoro Forest Project Blog (12:00pm pacific time). We are limiting the orders to a maximum of two books per person, so hopefully most of you can get a book. Another way to get hold of it will be at the Alternative Press Expo in [...]
