Wheee! Down The Tubes has news of the upcoming Mirabilis hardbacks that will be rocketing like little magic comets into UK stores any day now. This is the whole 200-page first season in two volumes, and although I said "little" they're actually European album-sized (a whopping 235 x 315 mm) so they should be kind of hard to miss.There's a glimpse of the Volume One endpapers here and a little more background info (and another sensational painting by Martin) right here, while the full story is over on the Strip Magazine blog. The first Mirabilis book is due in March, with Volume Two following hard on its heels a month later. Hope you'll join us for the adventure!
fantastic, dave! looks terrific, congrats to you all on the launch and may it be the great success it deserves!
ReplyDeleteso you somehow managed to wrestle copyright out of random house's hands...?
Thanks, Will! There may have been some wrestling. Or possibly krav maga. More than that I cannot possibly say - unless given beer, of course, in which case I'll soon spill all.
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome!!!! Cannot wait to get my copy!!
ReplyDeleteLorenzo!
That should be copies!
ReplyDeleteGood news, Dave. The format it deserves. I'll be on the lookout...
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys! We'll also be out on all iOS, Android and Windows 7 devices next month but those hardcover editions are still going to be the real treasure. I just know that when I get my hands on an actual physical copy I'm going to be standing there grinning like an idiot :)
ReplyDeleteHooray, hooray hooray ∞ !
ReplyDeleteThanks, Garen! I'm eager/nervous to hear what you guys all make of it. Working on something off in a dark corner like that for so long, then when you reveal it to the world... Kind of nerve-wracking! :)
ReplyDeleteHm... I think I know that feeling :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat to see everybody who made it to the party today. What a cause for celebration!
ReplyDeleteFabulous to meet you and Leo at last, Dave - hope you had a safe journey home.
ReplyDeleteGreat news indeed Dave, it's so good to see that you guys persistence and dedication to the Mirabilis vision is finally beginning to bear fruit in a multitude of formats.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter. I must say that, after 27 years since my first book was published, I thought I was long past this level of candy-store excitement, but every new development with Mirabilis has me grinning madly. Now we're on Graphic.ly, the hardcovers later this month, I'm just approving pages for going live on Comics+... It's quite a rollercoaster ride!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to buying this!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paul - hope you like it!
