would you want the art book to be oversized and HC? Of course your art is worth it but with a high page count wouldnt the art book be above $75? _________________ www.orbitcomics.org www.rickemerson.com |

I'm thinking it would be closer to half of that.
$30 or $40?
But I'd have to run a price check on that with the printer.
What are the prices of some other current art books in that format?
The Alex Ross Mythology, and Bendis said the Greg Horn artbook was a good design and format.
Do you know what those are priced at?
I think the McKean Sandman cover collection was $25 in paperback.
Maybe I could offer the book as low as a $35 or $40 price on the hardcover?

Your both right im stupid. I would pay $50 for all the stuff your talking about more if it came to that. Dont forget extra pages so we can make you draw stuff when we see you. _________________ www.orbitcomics.org www.rickemerson.com |

Yes!

Or would you prefer that the first volume be more of a cross section of various Kabuki, DD, ALias covers mixed with other kinds of art? |
I personally would rather have the Kabuki stuff undiluted by the DD/Alias/etc work, unless you wanted to show progression that included those other works. I'd rather have unity, especially if you were doing all the covers in order... but if you wanted to include the Marvel covers along with all the Kabuki covers, and have it be a "Mack Covers" collection, that would be awesome, too. |

Thanks.
That's sort of what I was thinking. A complete Kabuki cover collection for the first. The idea that this would include every single cover. Even including the various covers by guest artists like Steranko and Alex Ross, etc.
The idea of it also including every other comic cover I ever did would also be amazing. But that would make it a bigger and bit more expensive book.
But it would show more contrast and range in my work.
It would include 22 Daredevil covers, 32 Alias covers (including 4 unpublished), 6 Ruule covers, 3 Swampthing covers, 1 Jinx cover, and several other covers that I may or may not decide to include.
Would you prefer the first volume include all of these covers too, or that I limit the first volume to Kabuki covers, and include other cover works with other art and drawings in a seperate art volume?
All responses welcome. |

do you have a target date set for the next trade? |
The next trade won't have a date set until the current Alchemy story is finished. And that will still be a while. This story will be at least 8 issues long. Maybe even a bit longer if necasary.
Probably before that, I'll have an artbook in hardcover oversized format.
An art of David Mack kind of book.
I may make the first volume of this the complete Kabuki covers from 94-2004. All oversize without the logo, and showing the sketch and comentary on the opposite page. Probably about 200 pages. |
being a trade waiter SUCKS
having to walk by the new Kabuki and Concrete singles hurts my soul _________________

That is a good point.
Maybe you should pick up the new issues of Kabuki.

Personally, I'd like to see a book dedicated to Kabuki covers and commentaries on them. I think that would be something special.
A second volume with other covers would be really nice, too. _________________ -Jim Clarke

Would it be best to call it: The Art of David Mack
And then to list it as Vol 1 (making the consecutive books also fit into that title with other volumes), and put another line under the title designating it as:
The Art of David Mack
The Kabuki covers
Would that be more attractive to readers?
Or would it be better to simply call it, The Art of Kabuki or the Kabuki covers?
Thanks |

well, then you have to decide whether or not to include the guest covers or not. As for the title, I think you should let Anh come up with one of her catchy juxtopositions and the have a : The Art of David Mack vol 1. _________________
