WHO'S AFRAID OF DOKTOR SLEEPLESS?

DOKTOR SLEEPLESS is my new
longform science fiction comics
novel for grown-ups like what you
are.

It's being published by Avatar Press.

It will be monthly, and in full colour.

It will sell for US$3.99, like an IDW
book, because that's the cost of
doing business.

It will have backmatter. Massive
backmatter. DOKTOR SLEEPLESS
will be shadowed by a wiki at
www.doktorsleepless.com
and backmatter will move to and
from the wiki. Sometimes it'll be
seen in print before it goes on the
wiki, sometimes not.

Once the book's live, the wiki will
be opened up for readers to add to
it. You will see why.

DOKTOR SLEEPLESS will be launched
in July.

Stand by for further instruktions.

HOLY SHIT I AM EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK.

Wrap-Around Cover

The artist is a little-seen European
guy called Ivan Rodriguez. Good
illustrator. Shaving the commercial
sheen off him a bit, roughing him
up. It's strong stuff.

Covers: Avatar Press do variant
covers. Live with it. When people
stop buying them, Avatar will stop
doing them. Three covers per issue.
There will be no confusion.

* Standard cover, by Ivan.

* Antique cover, by Raul Casares:
pure black and white, done in a style
reminiscent of Bernie Wrightson's
FRANKENSTEIN illustrations.
Wraparound. Yeah. No colour,
except on the logo.

* Warning cover: these covers are
just graphics, based on the Fake
Warning Signs that the Doktor is
pasting over Heavenside in the story.
A different big fucking Fake Warning
Sign filling the cover, every time.

I imagine each one has a different
order number, but don't yet know
for sure.

GUYS THIS IS GOING TO BE FUCKAWESOME

    Christian Science might be more appropriate, though actually that doesn't involve actual science either.
