I really want to strip away all the pretentiousness and tedious world-building that had bogged the fantasy genre down for decades and get back to basics...chases, escapes, traps, characters with some actual wit. All the FUN stuff.<BR/><BR/>And Scott, I'd really describe it as more of an "all-ages" book. Though Kids Can is putting it out through their children's catalogue, it'll also be available to the comics direct market through Diamond. I definitely wrote it for my inner ten-year-old, so anyone else with an inner ten-year-old (which describes most comics fans, I would think) should get a kick out of it.Scott Chantlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16102483225737866946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2988707831661892591.post-40851966224667864742008-09-11T23:57:00.000-04:002008-09-11T23:57:00.000-04:00Looks like an Errol Flynn movie (with the swashbuckling mast-leaps). Haven't been this excited about a "kids" book since Berkley Breathed jumped ship from the funny papers to the kid lit scene.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the preview!industrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10312430123650185354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2988707831661892591.post-57337994115239556692008-09-09T15:36:00.000-04:002008-09-09T15:36:00.000-04:00Hmmm. great...I was just thinking about "The flame and the arrow"...nafsakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10979657060593639354noreply@blogger.com
