They had all great things to say! And, they said you were "the nicest guys ever" ! I couldn't agree more :0) So, congrats again. Finally, I was able to sit down and “watch” that.

Thanks, man! Mary, really... I don't think that I necessarily shy away from photos, I just like to have good photos of me 'out there' and lately, there's not been many. Plus, it doesn't hurt that I'm always the guy with the camera, hence the one taking the pictures. =] Mark’s picking up what I’m putting down! Thanks, man!

His old magazines, the old black and white tv show in the 1950s and 1960s. And of course the movies he directed, The Birds, Psycho, etc. As far as Shane shying from photographs, I too shy from them and envy Joe that he does not mind. I went to a work party a few months ago and someone caught out their camera and I hid behind a woman but then just when I thought it was safe to poke out my head, another light flashed.

Please, keep doing it...I know you feel like tooting your own horn is a pain, but I love reading this stuff. It not only makes me happy that you are getting the recognition you deserve, but it also re-inforces what I have known from the first moment I read something you wrote...HSB. You are truly on your way and I really, really like being right! Congrats again on your nominations and your good reviews! I love this: "Many, many comics can take a cue from this immaculately written book. Reading it is a breath of fresh air in a literary world plagued by many superheroes and various other characters penned with a half hearted attempt at humanism. These characters live, they breathe, they feel fear, and they are without a doubt in pain. The subtleties not only in how their characters are written, but in how they are portrayed artistically, make this a book to be not just enjoyed, but necessary in the continuation of comics as a respected medium." This is exactly how I feel but CinCity said it better than I ever could. I love the Locke family and am very concerned with what happens to them. I find that fascinating...that I could be so invested in fictional characters! It doesn't happen that much to me and I read ALOT. And the fact that this is a comic has me even more amazed considering I haven't even read a comic since I was a teenager about a million years ago. I'm reminded of a time when my best friend and I used to buy the "Alfred Hitchcock Magazine" and used to read stories to each other in the afternoons. It wasn't a comic, but for some reason L&K reminds me of those days. Thank you Joe, Gabriel and Jay for exciting me again and reminding me of the good old days! :) First I want to thank you Joe, for letting us know about the recognition you are getting for your work.
