You can take the bookseller out of the store ...



If you've ever read Michael Chabon's excellent, Pulitzer-winning novel, THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER AND CLAY, then you should be very excited about this comic book coming out in the near future.

It supposedly "archives" the original issues of "The Escapist," the book-within-a-book created by Sam and Joe in the novel.

As soon as I saw this excellent cover art, I got excited.

If you've not read KAVALIER AND CLAY, by the way, I know that Barnes & Noble was selling tons of discount paperbacks of it really, really cheap a couple weeks ago on the bargain shelves. So run out and get one. And get a copy of Jonathan Franzen's THE CORRECTIONS, which is also there on the overstock area.

Thus concludes my sales pitch.
