Cool Books.

Fri Nov 13, 2009, 7:54 PM
Went and walked around with a buddy yesterday and went into a Borders. He headed for the DVD's (film's his thing) and I headed for the graphic novels (you know my thing). I was just looking and checking out what, if any, hardcover books there were. I was pleasently surprised to find a few.
Vertigo is putting out these crime books, one by Ian Rankin, and Ithink a book called Darkness Calls, and one by Brian Azzarello titled, crap, can't think of it now. There was also a hard cover Japanese comic that was really attractive. Another book that I saw,whic I had actually purchased a few days earlier, is ONI's You Have Killed Me, writte by Jamie Rich.
That book is just SUPER attractive. Very well thought out and produced book, and very classy.

I decided then and there that I am definitely going to put out Heavy as a hardcover book. It just seems like the only way to go. I feel it's that special and deserves that kind of prescence. I was really taken with the production of You Have Killed Me. Much like the production value of the latest Parker book by Darwyn Cooke. I really want to give this project that feel. What do you call it? Substantiability? I dunno. But there it is.

Oh dude, just a followup to our conversation...
...for 'american' comics, two recommendations...
Desolation Jones & Global Frequency. G.F. there are two trades, both good, I dig the second most.

Just thought I'd hit you while the thought popped to mind.
