Sinister: Ooh, Get Me Away From Here, I'm Drawing!

[JPB]

Hey Nice Folks,
This just in from Publishers Weekly:
 
Belle & Sebastian Comic Due in 2006
The British band Belle and Sebastian's leader, Stuart
Murdoch, is a longtime comics fan, and plenty of
cartoonists return his affection. Early next year, as
the band releases its next album, Image will publish
Put the Book Back On the Shelf: A Belle and Sebastian
Anthology, a collection of short comics stories, in
color and black—and white, adapted from the band's
older lyrics. 

It'll be drawn by several dozen cartoonists, including
Andi Watson, Leela Corman, Laurenn McCubbin (who
designed the cover) and eight of the artists from the
Flight anthologies. "There's a pretty wide range of
material,"says Image editor Eric Stephenson. "Some of
the artists have done straight interpretations, others
have more surrealistic takes on the songs, and a few
use the lyrics as a counterpoint to what's going on in
the panels." Stephenson's talking to songwriter
Stephen Duffy about a similar future volume.

 
Oooh exciting!
Affectionately,
Jenn PB
Chicago, IL
