RSSPublisher’s Weekly Comics Week broke the news about our SHOOTING WAR book deal this past Saturday while I was at Comic-Con. We’re sandwiched in between deal news for Dan Clowes and Vertigo, which feels brilliant:
“There’s also been fast and furious wheeling and dealing connecting the Web and the printed page. SHOOTING WAR, the acclaimed Web comic by Anthony Lappé and Dan Goldman, has found a print home at Warner Books, where it will be published as a hardcover graphic novel. Currently running on the Smith magazine Web site, the near-future tale follows the caustic experiences of a video blogger who gains fame after live blogging a terrorist bombing. The story will be much expanded for the print version, with the Web comic making up only about a third of the final book.Warner senior editor Jaime Levine acquired the book, and it’s her first graphic novel. She says the politically subversive tale will be aimed at the same audience as the publisher’s huge bestseller America: The Book. Warner Books has also acquired two other graphic novels, one by members of the WuTang Clan and another by tattoo artist Mister Cartoon.”
SHOOTING WAR will be published in Fall 2007.
