This is the cover I wanted to run with. Ah well.
Inside publishing jokes are just the best.
Let’s all take a moment.

Adorable.
Well, it’s been a while since one of our objects was united with the author who invented its significance! But it’s happened again: Here is Ben Katchor, with the Maine Statues Dish. Photographs courtesy of Jeannie Roule, who (along with Trifin) we cannot thank enough!
—————————————————————————————————
And of course: To read all of the extraordinary stories about ordinary things that Katchor and 99 other great writers created as part of the Significant Objects project, pick up our book, on Amazon or from your favorite bookseller.
Delightful!
Indeed he is! And don’t forget to pick up Katchor’s latest graphic work, HAND-DRYING IN AMERICA, as well!
A collaborative series with photographer Max Oppenheim and prosthetic artist Bill Turpin in tribute to Charles Burns for his comic ‘Black Hole’.
Disturbingly accurate and amazing. Perfect embodiment of Charles Burns’ distinct work.
Chris Ware - “Building Stories”
We just love this picture of Chris Ware’s Building Stories!
Actually prefer this volume to the first one, which bodes well for where the book is going.
Charles Burns’ The Hive is the second installment in his trilogy with Doug the Tintin-esque inspired hero.
Love this page from Charles Burns’ newest graphic novel The Hive (on sale now).
Is your guy fluent in Dothraki or serious about Syrah? Does he mope like Morrissey or exult in espresso? He’ll beam like a boy on Christmas when he unwraps the ideal book to suit his style.

A Light that…
Chris Ware’s Building Stories is definitely a perfect gift!
Chris Ware, author of Building Stories, and Charles Burns, author of The Hive, will be at the Brooklyn Comics and Graphic Festival next weekend (Saturday November 10th).
What is Building Stories you ask? “THIS BOOK IS A MASTERPIECE.” Says Rick Moody of the Los Angeles Review of Books, and we can’t argue with that.
Building Stories by Chris Ware on sale now.
My favorite is:
Pantheon, you’re trying to drown us in brilliance, is that what’s going on here? And you’re having these two juggernauts of talent and reputation appear at BookPeople on the same night so that nobody will even think of stopping by Austin Books & Comics where Brandon Graham will be presenting his Multiple Warheads, is that it? Dirty marketing tactics, right? Competitive capitalist bloodsport in which unsuspecting citizens are duped via – oh, insert whatever Alex Jones might say, if Jones isn’t busy inserting it himself.]
We jest, Pantheon. You’re not even a traditional comics publisher, are you, although you’ve been at this for a while now? And here you are and are and are, et cetera, doing it up right.
WE LOVE THIS! Thanks to the Austin Chronicle.
