Tip and Smashtor,
Thanks for checking it out. Glad you did the DD story. Check out the newer Kabuki stuff for a better (at least more personal) example of my work. I recommend KABUKI Metamorphosis. Circle of Blood is the begining, and is still the fave of many, but I did it 10 yrs ago and I can still see the charm in it but I wince at some things too. Meta is a more current with my tastes.

Kerouac,
Thanks for that. I really appreciate that take on it. That is what I tried to do. Encrypt layers of intrigue and subplots without making them grab your attention or encumber the reading experience of the primare and surface story line.
Glad you are sensitive to that! And I appreciate the Alan Moore comparison.

Looking forward to reading the reactions of the new Kabuki readers!
Best,
DM

*tips hat* And thank YOU for signing my copy of "Metamorphosis" at Chicago this past year. It was the only book I brought for a signature. Very Happy

I think one reason Kabuki works so well is that it appeals to so many different levels...

It a beautiful book...it's entertaining...it's intellectual...it's philisophical...and it's spiritual...


how many comics have you read that you can say contain ALL those things...


Kabuki moves me...it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy... Very Happy

I'll be along for the long haul...

Er, that feeling isn't the book, Ryan... Twisted Evil

I think it's great that a book can have such a level of technical achievement without sacrificing the work.

I read some of the blurbs at davidmack.net, I think I'll really enjoy the asylum issues.

I'm on a tight budget though, so I don't know if I'll quite reach those issues. I'm still waiting to hear back from Anh about prices on single issues, since I'm a baby and don't want trades.

Mike H,
No worries. We will hook you up. Anh will give you price of what you ask. If it is too much, just tell her the max budget you are allowed and she will give you as many books as can include with that budget, meaning with will throw in books for free anyway. And sign them. I guarantee satisfaction.

Great service... except now some of us wish that we hadn't bought all of our trades through reputable comic retailers and had rather bugged the creator in the hopes of a deal! Laughing Just joshin'.

Just ordered Circle of Blood through my local shop and I am looking forward to its arrival.

Also put myself down for the latest series (Alchemy, yes?).
I figure between now and its release I'll have the complete run of trades.

Alright, I guess I'm convinced. With the first Echo story being among my favorite in Marvel Knights DD continuity and the new one shaping up to be one of the most beautiful comics I've ever seen, I'm set to start ordering each of the graphic novels (chronologically). I'm actually excited to see what else Senor Mack has to offer, porque en el mundo de las revistas comicas, los que son del corazon son las mejores.

THANK YOU!!!


I don't know if this means anything to you...but you make comics that I'll read, absord and think about beyond reading them the first time...

Your comics left an impression on me...I'll read them again sometime... Very Happy
