The other day I wrote about something I tend to call my "Lizard Brain Impulses." The hard-wired, gut level reaction I get when I first lay eyes on something--and a weird savage impulse surges up inside me saying "Must have! Must have NOW!"
Well, that just happened to me a few moments ago on Jeff Smith's Boneville site where I read about the new "Art of Bone" book. The preview that Dark Horse put together is oh-so cool too. My Lizard Brain is going to need LOTS of cash at Comicon this year. Lots and lots.
Ha! I had the same experience today, but it was for this new collection of the Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend. That Bone book does look good too, though!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit--until this momentI was not aware of this collection. But I'm a longtime admirer of Rick's Dream-work. In fact, I believe a Larry Marder character appeared in more than a few of the earlier pieces in the Rarebit books. Now that I know about it--I will eagerly look forward to this one too.
ReplyDeleteOh, not Rick Veitch's Rarebit Fiends book - Winsor McCay's Rarebit Fiends! Confusing, I know. Sorry about that. A Rick Veitch collection would be pretty cool, too, though!

ReplyDeleteHa ha! Now THAT is tooooo funny. I AM aware of the McCay book and YES I do want that too!
I think it is rather ironic that
"Rarebit" made me first think of Rick and not McCay--who-s work I have spent many an hour pouring over in old reprint books from the 70s (or whenever).
