BILL CAN GET OUT OF BED TODAY.
THE PILLBOX.COVER.
COMING SOON. OUT IN ALL GOOD BOOK STORES LATER THIS SUMMER. BOY MEETS GHOST. TRUE STORY. PUBLISHED BY JONATHAN CAPE. HARDBACK. LOTS OF PICTURES. MANY IN COLOUR. EASY TO READ, DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW. OR EVEN TO SWALLOW. X CERTIFICATE, IF IT WAS A FILM. IT COULD BE. IT OUGHT TO BE. BUT NOT AN ANIMATION. OH NO. REAL ACTORS. REAL LIFE. PROPER MOVIE. 'MOVIE?' I NEVER EVER USE THAT WORD. FILM. THE PICTURES. JUST BECAUSE IT'S DRAWN WELL IT DOESN'T MEAN IT HAS TO BE AN ANIMATION.
It looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Snyder, very kind of you, so far so good the first proofs looked pretty good, but fingers crossed and all that. Still the subject matter will hardly propel my grim little tale into the best seller lists. Hey ho - it kept me off the couch for a couple of years....
DeleteYour "Hunchback" remains one of the best things on my bookshelf - I'm looking forward to adding this to my collection, as soon as I can get it over here.
DeleteAs far as drawing goes The Pillbox is a different animal - more an attempt at story telling than a 'virtuoso' showing off performance - I can say that I think......yes the pictures in the Pillbox carry the story along, my attempt at 'doing' a comic book.
