Hi Chris,

Thanks for reading Kabuki. I've very happy to hear that you get something from it. That really is my intention.

I did advertize the book as having "sketches and character designs". But after I finished doing all the new artwork in the intro pages, covers, chapter separations, intoduction pages, afteword pages, etc... I totally ran out of room. In fact I went eight pages over what I advertized it with just to include the extra presentation art that I wanted in the collection. So though it was advertized as 280 pages, It actully has 288. And IMage couldn't keep letting me add more pages because of the extra cost and as is, it wouldn't break even for so long down the road.

So I apologize for soliciting it with the promise of the sketches and character designs, but I felt that I had to put all the other new pages in for the rythm of it as a collected story. Totally my responsibility. I'm still very happy with how the extra presentation pages make it read as a story. But if you are in any way unhappy with it, I will buy it back from you if it is still in salable condition.

I do want to someday do a very in depth behind the scenes look at that story and some of my motivations of it, complete with interviews, more hardcore analysis, and rough sketches.

I hope this answered your questions. And I really appreciate that you read my work.

warmest regards,

David Mack
