Brian. For some reason, the photos from the blog weren't showing up in the link - - hopefully that's fixed now! The picture of us and the 2 foot Bone urned out great. Brian.

Thanks very much for that, it was a great way for a smaller publisher to help us out without the big expense of sponsoring a full meal. Hopefully, the good reviews from the early vanguard of folks like you will encourage other independent publishers to join us in the desert next year. Thanks for coming, and for the ride(s)! -Jim Crocker, retailer Modern Myths, LLC Northampton, MA Jeff-

Magazine. E-mail me your mailing address and I'll send you a copy of the premiere issue, so you can see for yourself what I'm up to with my "paean to professional cartoonists." Tom Richmond has a very nice review of the magazine on his blog if you want a "preview." Jeff, I’d love to “profile” you in the next issue of STAY TOONED! Magazine.

I was looking forward to seeing those!

I enjoyed RASL quite a bit, especially the parting "shots" so to speak (don't want to ruin it for those who haven't taken to the book yet). ANd I am very happy to hear about the amazing success that Bone has enjoyed, both at your own CB and with Scholastic. My young nephew recently visited and I introduced to my Bone collection. He ended flying back with the Scholastic editions as well as the One Volume. Of course I'll a bit poorer in the coming weeks as I replenish my collection, but what the heck. I love him and he sure did love those books! I'll concur with the opinion that we have arrived at a Golden Age of graphic novels. There's so much great stuff out there. I've been working on one of my own for about six years now (off and on of course ;)) and it gives me some hope. I'm ready to give it a go, to find representation, so one day I can hopefully sit along side the likes of Pope and Tan and, of course, Smith... Wishes for continued success, Jeff! Best, Scott PS-If you or anyone else reading these words have any advice on getting into the business, feel free to fire away. Much thanks in advance. Great new cover, Ser Jeff!

I was wondering why I couldn't find Rasl. That's really cool that the direct market has become so huge and that graphic novels have become increasingly popular. I think probably due to the fact that they are covenant and less delicate than individual comic issues. Which many comic collectors’ guard with their lives, lol (my sister has a rare collection of old x-men comics). So it's nice to see many of these older books in graphic from and even newer books such has Bone. These make comics so much more available to the everyday person who doesn't shop the comic shop. Congratulation on all your efforts, it was well worth it I'm sure and the long wait to come to this golden age era of graphic novels is something to be very proud of, best of luck in the future. ;) Well that explains it!
