DISTRICT COMICS named one of the Top 10 Graphic Novels of 2012 by the Washington Post
I just wanted to re-post this for the folks who aren’t reading Tumblr at 7AM on a Saturday morning, which is when I first learned about it.
I did a story in this book with Charles Fetherolf about the 1867 Washington Nationals. Huge kudos to my editor Matt Dembicki and the 30+ other contributors. Also, huge kudos to Fulcrum Publishing for pushing these books. Fulcrum’s been publishing for 30+ years. Three years ago they took a chance on Matt and published their first Graphic, Trickster. This year they published their second graphic novel, District Comics, and it becomes a Top 10 GN of 2012 by one of the most prestigious papers in the country.
And they’re expanding. Many of you know I signed a three-book deal with them to do a series of graphic novel anthologies about colonial New England and Mid-Atlantic. I hooked them up with another very talented writer who’s publishing his book with them in 2014. And one of my old Writing for Comics students had her book picked up there, as well (Matt brought her on).
Matt started something great over there and I’m thankful to him for bringing me in. I think you’re going to see a lot of great stuff from Fulcrum in the coming years so get ready and, as always, jump on it.
