It is now PHYSICALLY a book

Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman, meet your brother, Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman:


For all the positives of e-publishing, I imagine "first appearance" (not to mention release) days will not be as exciting when the product is only pixelated rather than printed. For all the work I put into this project, part of the proof is something I can hold and page through and stack and, yes, smell in unique form. 

The world may be going digital faster than most in the book business want to admit, and I'm coming to terms with that, but for now I'm also grateful that this book made it out in B.C.E. (Before Computer Everything).

Thank you all again, for Bill's sake.
