I made it back from my first ever San Diego Comic Con yesterday, and it was a great experience, and to top it off I don’t think I’m coming down with an illness (a common side effect of attending the show, so I was warned).  I hope to make a post about my experience this week.  In the meantime I can let you know  what I found in my mailbox recently.  The first item of interest is a Scholastic “READ 180: Stage A” comic book that I illustrated last year.  I wish I knew exactly how you can buy this, if you are so inclined, but I can only direct you to the book listing on the Scholastic website.  I think your best bet will be to check Scholastic Book Fairs that come regularly during the school year, or contact Scholastic via the website.  Here’s the webpage.  Click on the tab for Level 2 Paperbacks and scroll to the right.  In the meantime, I’ll give you a preview of the 24 page book.  Written by Sari Wilson, the intended audience is 3rd to 5th grade readers.

And here’s convincing evidence that it’s a real book, one that hands can touch…

The other item of interest is the third and final installment of Anne Steelyard.  I had a small hand in this as the background penciller, the main credits go to writer Barbara Hambly, penciller Ron Randall, inker James Taylor, and colorist Mike Garcia.  Check out Anne Steelyard: The Garden of Emptiness Act 3 from Penny Farthing Press!
