Scott,
Well, I for one wasn't offended, I was more just, "huh???"

Just heard from Vertigo that CAN'T GET NO will ship a week late (June 14).
Both ABRAXAS AND THE EARTHMAN and the companion volume that (hopefully) follows will be 7.5 x 10", which is smaller than EPIC Magazine. I like the size, which is the same as TABOO, the CEREBUS trades or the recent HUMANOIDS stuff. Just seems to fit well with the other King Hell books while keepuing the pricepoint reasonable.
The biggest improvment will be to the new scans. With desktop publishing, I'm able to clean and adjust each one myself to get the closest reproduction to my originals. The look of the book should be a revelation to those familiar with the horrendous EPIC scans.
ABRAXAS has 4" flaps on the cover (I'll be posting the ultrawide wraparound image soon).
Scott, I'm thirty years into my professional career and really don't know what the best break-in route is these days (other than the generic "go to school" "keep drawing" "self publish" "go to cons" etc etc). Sorry!

Thanks for just answering that Rick, I was beginning to think I offended you. I'm working at it. It's just writing fiction for a living is the only thing that really excites me, when I take a look at where I want to go.

I had read several things about the atypical format of "Can't Get No", but one really has to hold the book in his/her hands to fully appreciate the format... and needless to say, I'm very anxious to read it.

I flipped through it tonight after picking it up at another bookstore (the shop I work for did not order it from Previews), and yes it is definitely atypical in format. It is very entertaining, and though it may be that I need sleep, I am going to read through it again at a slower pace to catch all the depth I missed on a breezy first-through. First impression is brilliance.
