In Response To: Thank you Mr. Mack (Warning: long post) (Mike B.)

Mike,

Thanks for all the feedback. I really appreciate it. I'm glad that you get so much from the books. When people get it like this, that is what makes it all worth it for me.

Thanks for reading my books.

David

: Season greetings to Mr. Mack and the rest of the board,

: This is my first post so it might be a tad long winded
: and for that I apologize in advance. First of all I
: would like to say simply thank you David. Thank you
: for creating the greatest comic book series and
: characters that I have ever read. Your work is
: incredible, and that's an understatement. Thanks for
: providing me with hours upon hours of intense,
: exciting, and thought provoking entertainment. The
: talent you possess is extraordinary. To both write,
: paint, and layout the pages the way you do is pure
: genius. There is so much depth to each story that
: reading them a third or fourth time is as enjoyable if
: not more enjoyable than the first time.

: I first got into your work about 2 years ago. I had been
: out of the comics loop for several years. I had moved
: to Orlando from Boston and had pretty mush given up on
: comics all together. My Dad had my whole collection up
: north and was moving to another house. I had been
: reminiscing with my roommate about my younger years
: and asked if he could ship down all my comics and
: sports memorabilia. He said he would do so right after
: the big move. Well as luck would have it the movers
: stole all of my comics and baseball cards which had
: been stored in boxes clearly labeled. Any way to make
: a long story longer we settled out of court and I got
: a fairly nice settlement.

: So trying to recapture the nostalgia of my youth I headed
: to the closest comic book store to try to replenish
: some of my favorite long lost titles. While scanning
: the shelves I came across Kabuki Circle of Blood.
: After just 5 minutes of scanning it I bought the few
: issues they had and headed home.

: I read Circle of Blood #3 and that was it. I was
: hopelessly hooked. I closed it and immediately began
: my quest to fill out the rest of the run. I went from
: comic book shop to comic book shop over the next few
: weeks slowly building the collection before I could
: sit down and read it complete and undisturbed.

: One of the things that blew me away the most was your
: letters column Tear Drops. There before my eyes where
: hundreds of people who were as passionate about your
: work as I was. Practically everyone of those letters
: expressed exactly how I felt. It was amazing.

: Well this is beginning to drag on a bit too long now.
: Anyone still reading at this point props to you. So in
: conclusion thanks again David. Your work is phenomenal
: and brings me much happiness, enjoyment and
: inspiration. Oh yeah and also thanks for turning me
: into an addict for Kabuki and everything Kabuki
: related. I've bought almost everything I can get my
: hands on from the masks (just got my Tigerlily one
: yesterday in the mail) to the jumbo German portfolio.
: Waiting for the Scarab issues to come out regularly
: was a real test in patience. I couldn't imagine having
: to wait for all of your earlier work. Also thanks for
: making yourself and your work so accessible. I've
: bought a few things from you and Anh directly on
: e-bay.

: Well I have several questions I really want to ask but I
: will save those for a later and shorter post. Looking
: forward to meeting you at the Megacon here in Orlando.

: Warmest regards,

: Mike B
