Hi Paul(?)

thanks, however you have the most amazing collection. I work in the business - I am publisher of this little company www.blankslatebooks.co.uk and also involved in Forbidden Planet in the UK so I get a good number of books cheap or free. However you seem to work in IT? Not in comics which makes the library you have pulled together totally incredible. I notice you mention Lambiek as your favourite store - I've only ever been in twice but it has always been an incredible store (although when i was there a couple of years back it seemed smaller than i remembered it - I think it moved location). I'm publishing a near wordless book later this year by an artist called Stu Kolakovic (basically he is a Uk illustrator who really wants to find the time to be a comic artist) it's a lovely thing - maybe I could send you one when it goes to print and if you like it you could be an evangelist and get the Lambiek guys to buy into it. Thanks again for your hello - and your great collection which has helped me add my own.

As for the languages - wish I could read them all - I often buy foreign material on the art alone.

very best - and happy holidays
Kenny

Noticed you liked Vernon God Little, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my novel since it's also southern (and a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm currently out of physical copies). If you're interested, send me your e-mail address (mine is mail@christophertusa.com), and I'll send you the e-book. Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit:

Thanks,

Chris

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes

(Donna McElroy)

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams, you will lose your heartache
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smilin' through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you'll keep on believing
The dream that you wish for will come true

No matter how your heart is grieving
If you'll keep on believing
The dream that you wish for will come true

Hi, How are you? What book is in your hand?

door OliviaBrooks123 op 4:53 am (EST) om Jul 18, 2009

hello paul

i have just added "Yiu - Die Apokalypse 2" (Yiu, Tome 2, La promesse que je te fais) and have noticed that your entry "Yiu, 02: De belofte" is combined with "Yiu, premières missions, Tome 2 : Les résurrections de l'impure".
is this correct?
i just wondered, the covers la promesse... and de belofte are the same.

Thank you very much for the recommendations! I've heard of Max Hamm but have yet to read it, though it seems awesome. The others I had never heard of but want to look into.

In the world of fairy tale-based comics, I would highly recommend the webcomic "No Rest for the Wicked" at http://www.forthewicked.net/

Oh, BTW, just in case you haven't gotten around to reading the whole thing (I see you own it), Lydia Lunch makes an appearance as the performance artist "Bedelia Brunch" in cartoonist Bob Fingerman's Minimum Wage comics.
That's more of the Lydia Lunch I'm familiar with than the Teenage Jesus-Queen of Siam -Lydia.

Danke Schoen.

No, there where no Comics. Just happy faces all around me and to much to eat.

And I do know Lydia Lunch as well, since I'm from the New York area. I view her as even more of a performance artist than the other two. Interesting figure though.

Actually Lene Lovich was somewhat known in the states. "Lucky Number" was something of a New Wave hit here.
She recently performs as Madeline Usher in Peter Hammill's opera "Fall of the House of Usher".

I collected stamps as a kid along with coins, but fell out of it years ago. I do still find it fascinating on some level. They can be quite beautifully done, as paper money is as well.

And Lene Lovich's "Lucky Number" from the first album was also on that ep. Forgot that one.

door arthurfrayn op 9:41 am (EST) om Dec 22, 2008

Exactly, let's see how it develops. There isn't a group like it that I've seen in the big Groups list , so it does fill a gap, at least in theory.

You're right, Nina Hagen isn't really much known in the states, but I did hear and like the ep that was released here back in the 80's with "TV Glotzer", "Superboy" and "African Reggae". I recently caught the bug seeing stuff on youtube, and realized that she's an absolute maniac who will do whatever comes into her mind, and find it fascinating how she manages to make that work. The band she's with on the first album is a pretty amazing band actually, although I've heard a Spliff record -"The Spliff Radio Show", and that didn't set me on fire.
The archive footage from the TV show Rockpalast is great.
