Looks like this is scheduled to go on sale in October and it'll be a hardcover! You can pre-order at the Amazon link over on the right, but they don't have any images yet. With that in mind I hope no one cares if I post a couple of samples here to whet your appetite:
Not quite the Man-Thing I remember, but I look forward to seeing the entire graphic novel.
ReplyDeleteSo. Damn. Excited!
ReplyDeleteI like your avatar!
DeleteThanks! The genius of the late, great Mike Parobeck.
DeleteI thought that might have been his work. I miss him.
DeleteI can't wait!
ReplyDeleteAny chance we'll finally see the Clayface story now?
That Clayface story was finally published in this anthology.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Longbox hunting, here I go...
DeleteGlad to see this getting printed, I think this is older than me :)
ReplyDeleteNot quite but close enough to make me do the math.
Deleteabsolutely stunning...oh i am giddy with anticipation. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matthew!
DeleteKevin,
ReplyDeleteExcellent news! I have been waiting for this book to come out ever since you first posted a few panels back at the Yahoo group.
Is this the last project that has been waiting to be published? I think that with Mignola's, and Wrightson's stories this brings all the "Kevin Nowlan urban legends" to an end :)
Yes, this is the last of those. Finally...
DeleteVery much looking forward to this
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gerry. And that was some nice coloring you sent me today!
DeleteI just looked at the amazon.com listing and it is described as a 114 page hardcover. I thought the ManThing story was a 48 page stand alone story...has it been expanded over the years or it some of the material classic reprints?
ReplyDeleteThe new story is 62 pages and yes, it's a stand alone story. Looks like they're including a reprint of Man-Thing 12 in there as well.
Deletesome of my favorite work I've seen from you...been fortunate enough to see some of the other pages before...and I've been waiting for this book for easily 10 years!
ReplyDeletecan't wait.
Richard Friend.
Thanks, Richard!
DeleteWill the hardcover be "oversized" or standard sized?
ReplyDeleteI don't know many details yet. Looks like it'll be published as a three issue miniseries first and the collection will be published in October.
ReplyDeleteStay tuned...
Kevin, my appetite was whet for this so long ago that I've run dry from the years of drooling.
ReplyDeleteHah! Thanks, Hilary!
ReplyDeleteIs this the same one that was listed, I believe, in the 1990 Marvel Age Preview? Because I am going back in time and telling myself that I WILL see it one day and he/me will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteVery excited to finally see this. It's been like an Urban Legend through the industry for many years.
ReplyDeleteBTW: Loved the sketch book you did for Heroes last year. I had a friend pick it up since it never seemed to work out meeting you whenever I would come over.
Peace,
Herc
Quite exceptional! Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteHey Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI just noticed in the solicitations they were breaking this up into issues? It won't be a single GN?
Yes, it will be. The HC goes on sale in October but it looks like it'll appear as a 3-issue mini-series before that.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird, but as long as it's published I don't really care what format(s) they use.
Great news! Anyway I got ahold of the latest Batman Odyssey issue by Neal Adams and was surprised to see your inks. Would you mind posting some of the pencils and your inks? I'm very curious to compair them. Are you also involved in inking the last issue of this series?
ReplyDeleteNo, I think the last issue is all inked by Neal. I'll try to post some of the pencils later.
ReplyDeleteHey, Kevin - I am Steve B's nephew, and met you at your home in Salina years ago. I saw the pages to this story at your place and I have been hoping to see this story in print since then.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm a giant-sized fan of Man-Thing, to this is terrific news! Also a Gerber fan, so just wow!
ReplyDeleteMay I say, as someone with a modest (but growing) collection of Man-Thing comics, that your take on Man-Thing is very pleasing. Although I equally appreciate the uber-realism often used for depicting Man-Thing (you know, details down to the edges of leaves and crevices in tree bark), I've long thought that the character's supernatural aspects are well suited to more abstract, stylistic renditions.
All that's to say, kudos! This Man-Thing fan is stoked.
woouuu. Amazing work!!!
ReplyDeletecongratultions!!!
Greetings.
Well, looks like I have something to buy in September...

This looks great. Looking forward to getting it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait
ReplyDeleteSo, is it fair to say the novelty has worn off? I miss your posts here. But I blog 2-3 times a month, so I ain't complaining, just despairing!
ReplyDeleteGood to see this finally coming out, Kevin. I remember when you were painting it. Picked up the second issue. Looks good.
ReplyDeleteMike
I bought a dozen pages of your layouts for this story a dozen or more years ago (and would love more):
