Calling all AIR fans! FLYING MACHINE, the second volume of the series, hits stores this week–and to celebrate, I’m offering 3 readers a virtual coffee break with its humble author, complete with gossip and chit-chat. To enter, email a photo of yourself holding your new copy of AIR Volume 2 to info [at] gwillowwilson [dot] [...]
In honor of my 27th birthday, the great folks at Khepri are offering 27% off my books! If you know someone who still hasn’t read AIR, or whose dog ate their copy of CAIRO, today is the day to buy.
Thanks, Khepri!
It’s that time of year again. A time to dust off the storm trooper costume and see if you still fit into it. A time to craft a business card that will stand out from the 10,000 other business cards that editor you’re courting will get from random shmoes. A time to make lists of [...]
VIXEN: RETURN OF THE LION, the miniseries written by moi and drawn by the obscenely talented Cafu, has won the Glyph Fan Award for Best Comic. It’s the first time a DC title has won in this category. So a big thank you to all the fans who voted for us!
Congrats also to the creators [...]
I just sent this email out to…well, most everybody:
Friends and colleagues,
As most of you know, the first volume of my comic book series AIR debuted last month. Drawn by the incomparable MK Perker, AIR is the story of Blythe, a fight attendant with a fear of heights who is drawn into the race to develop [...]
Oh my God, I am so excited, it’s a little pathetic how excited I am. Yay!!
Vertigo makes a good showing in the Best New Series category, with Unknown Soldier and Madame Xanadu also nominated.
And if you’re in Seattle, I’m signing your copy! Head down to Zanadu Comics between 3-6pm and hang out with me. Will be posting pics here tomorrow.
For the other trade-waiters…and my favorite people in the whole world, who buy BOTH the monthlies AND the trades…hope you enjoy the collected adventures of Blythe and Co.
If you’re In The Industry, don’t forget to fill out your ballot.
Dammit, I didn’t want to take any questions on Watergate!
But we’ll take a few on writing monthlies, blogger critiques, and Where Brian Gets His Ideas, Redux. All this and more when Brian and I chat writer-to-writer at Newsarama.
is coming to Standard Attrition.
That’s right, you heard me. His forum is already up, so go say hi.
I worked at an independent movie theatre the summer after my high school graduation. People didn’t exactly line up around the block for The Winslow Boy and its ilk, so I had a lot of free time. Once the half-dozen middlebrows had taken their seats and the lights went down, I snuck into the lobby [...]
Inspired by Jock. Kind of.
Mine:
Delerium. Yay girlie gothtronica.
VAST. Less girlie gothtronica.
Muse. Supermassive hipsterhole.
Tori. Don’t hate; I wrote a short for the woman’s book.
Swans. My first concert. Tear!
WHAT WORK FROM 2008 ARE YOU THE MOST PROUD OF?
Brian Wood: LOCAL. The best thing I’ve done, and hopefully the first of many Ryan Kelly collabs. And the first NORTHLANDERS book, which not only got me out of my comfort zone but did the same for a lot of people who thought [...]
Egypt keeps me good and humble. When I tell people I write comics, they assume I mean picture books about Mickey Mouse for kids. They give me little smiles and say “How adorable!” Even if AIR #3 sold 100,000 copies and I was awarded All The Eisners There Are, I would never be famous in [...]
