That's too bad.  Is Fantagraphics a possibility?  I know some of those guys are fans.

No, I was happy with those aspects of the contract. It really was an issue of me not liking how they wanted the book to look.


Well, I'm sorry it didn't work out, especially so late in the game (it was due to ship in two weeks, no?).

I have little doubt that you'll be able to find a better publisher that will help you to get YOUR vision out there.

Fantagraphics and Pantheon do world-class work with Ware's stuff, as does Jeff Mason with Kochalka's stuff, but let's not get this one man's hopes up before Christmas comes and lands a single snowflake onto the tear that is running down his cheek (the snowflake contains C2H5K7, a known catalyst which turns the tear into malignant sarcoma)

Thank you for the good wishes. At this point Achewood has over 1,400 pages of material, including the strips, blogs, advice columns, and Serializer installments, and we would like more people to be able to see it.

Why is the Philippe victory strip canceled?! Did Bush demand a recount? PHILIPPE WON FAIR AND SQUARE
