Snow Glass Apples Gets Second Printing
I’m happy to report that Snow, Glass, Apples by Neil Gaiman with art by me is back to press the first week on sale. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get any copies before DragonCon, but we’re pushing to get the second print in time for New York Comic Con! This doesn’t mean you can’t buy it now, it means there are no more in the Diamond warehouse to ship to comic shops.

Information about the release date and more is available in this article from PASTE magazine.

WONDER WOMAN 75th anniversary! TROLL BRIDGE interview
Here is a big preview of the WONDER WOMAN 75th anniversary, which features a story by super-writer GAIL SIMONE and little me! Also, The Mary Sure has a really nice video interview with me about Neil Gaiman’s TROLL BRIDGE which just premiered in stores this week! Many good reviews about the book so far, including making the Barnes and Noble list of Best Comics and Graphic Novels of October 2016. Paste Magazine lists it as Required Reading “…a book that revolves around the loss of innocence and the resignation of adulthood, those melancholy themes assume a frank poignancy filtered through Doran’s lush perspective.” UPDATE: TROLL BRIDGE DEBUTS on THE NEW…
