DeMatteis' Moonshadow; If you haven't read it yet here's your chance

[euroq]

I know I could have posted this at DC forum since this is Vertigo book but then probably lots of cool folks would have missed this.


I can wholeheartedly recommend this book, it's a nice mixture of sci-fi and fantasy adventure but most importantly it's about the secrets of the human heart. Beautiful story with gorgeous watercolor art, buy it and read it if you haven't yet.

I was so excited to see this on the DC solicits last month because I heard a lot of great things about it and it's been out of print for some time.....then I saw the price

 

[euroq]

Yeah but it's worth it - 12 original issues and Farewell Moonshadow, 464 pages of greatness.

 

[Themanofbat]

Yeah, it's one of the BEST things I have ever read....

And I read it when it was originally released by Epic/Marvel.

It was years ahead of its time.
J.M. DeMatteis' best writings, in my opinion.

<cough>

Only one month wait, start saving kids.

[CantThinkOfAName]

[Eric Draven]

I'll probably end up getting it. There doesn't seem to be than many TPBs coming out in July anyways


Although the number of TPBs I bought this month has been crazy

I have the original Marvel/Epic TPB of MoonShadow, as well as the 12 original comics from 1985/86.

It's one of the most beautiful human stories put to paper.

well, a good comment from themanofbat certainly beats out a ray bradbury comment

Sounds good. Not as good as a mouthfull though.


I'll pick it up.

 

[Eric Draven]

You know, I don't see this book in the shipping lists for this week....

 

[euroq]

Yeah, I noticed that too..

According to DC's website it should come out this week, does anyone know how reliable the site is?
