Out of the Box #5
Sorry. This should have been up Saturday, but I actually worked Saturday and lost Sunday to a weird mood. In addition to the goodies below, we got new copies of the ASoI&F titles with stickers advertising the HBO series on them. Winter's coming... to your TV next spring.

- Hellfire - Plague of Dragons by Tom Wood (art & story) & Robert Weinberg . Art book about a dragon plague occuring during the Black Death. Got another title in today dealing with the same general subject, but you'll have to wait for Out of the Box #6 for the details!
- Dick and Jane and Vampires by Laura Marchesani (author) and Tommy Hunt (illustration). See Dick. See Jane. See Vampire. Run Dick. Run Jane. Oh, Puff! Silly, silly Puff.
- The Sounds of Star Wars by J.W. Rinzler . Foreward by Ben Burtt, who oversaw the sound design for all the Star Wars films and without whom the book wouldn't have been possible. Let's you hear 256 Star Wars sounds while reading the story of their creation.
- DC 75th Anniversary Poster Book by Robert Schnakenberg. Ready-to-frame covers from throughout DC (originally National) Comics history. Schnakenberg's also written Sci-Fi Baby Names and the Encyclopedia Shatnerica. At first I thought his blurb describing himself as "America's Most Beloved Author and Raconteur" was hyperbole but... Encyclopedia Shatnerica? No, it's understated and humble.



A weird mood? Mood's a thing for cattle or playing the baliset. It's not for posting.
