A Book That I'd Buy

In June, Avatar Press is releasing a book:

Alan Moore's WRITING FOR COMICS Vol 1 GN
Retail Price: $5.95 US
Cover: Juan Jose Ryp
Writer: Alan Moore
Artist: Jacen Burrows
Readership: All Ages
Format: B&W, 48 pages, square bound
ISBN: 1592910122

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The master of comic book writing shares his thoughts on how to deliver a top notch script! The main essay was originally written in 1985 and appeared in an obscure British fanzine, right as Moore was reshaping the landscape of modern comics, and has been tragically lost ever since. Now Avatar brings it back in print, collected for the first time as one graphic novel, and heavily illustrated by Jacen Burrows. Alan Moore also provides a brand new essay on how his thoughts on writing have changed in the two decades since he first wrote it. For fans of Moore's work, new writers, or anyone who wants a peak behind the mental curtain of one of the greatest living writers, this is a can't miss book!


... and I'm buying it. My goodness, how could I not? I've enjoyed Moore's Watchmen series along with many, many other ground-breaking works...
