RSSAs 2006 dovetails into 2007, I find myself reflecting on the million-odd wonderful things that have happened and new friends I have made in the last year out here at Rancho Goldman. Before I get too mushy on the front of my website, here’s my Happy New Year card, direct from my subconscious and Photoshop to you:
See you next year, haw haw~!!

My illustration work is now on display at The iSpot.com in a smart micro-site that subjects you to none of these tacky Miami colors.

I’m very happy to announce that Weidenfeld & Nicolson will be publishing SHOOTING WAR in hardcover in the UK simultaneously with the American printing from Warner Books. Not only that, my UK friends, but W&N will be flying Anthony and I out to do a promotional tour as well.
And a special shout-out goes to Joe Gordon at Forbidden Planet International for his roaring and constant enthusiasm: the beating of your drum alerted alot of the Europe comix community very early on to what we were doing, Joe… and for that you have my eternal gratitude.
You’ve all heard me talking about it so click the banner already.

This was linked to on THE BEAT, so I figured I’d post it here while you’re all wringing your hands waiting on SHOOTING WAR (which will be hitting on Tuesday AM due to holiday internet non-traffic):
This story from STYX TAXI: A LITTLE TWILIGHT MUSIC (circa 2004) written by Steven Goldman and drawn by me; scroll down the ENGINE thread for more work by Steve with many gorgeous pages by Rami Efal.
I’ve just added four new SHOOTING WAR prints to my shop; click the pic to have a look. And if there’s another panel you’d like to own, feel free to sound off in the comments. I am, as ever, listening intently.
Publisher’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.
