PAUL SIZER COMIC E-NEWSLETTER
NOVEMBER 20, 2006
Hello friends, fans and retailers.
Thanksgiving is almost here, and in addition to my annual venture into getting one year older (yet strangely, not always wiser), it’s time for some more news from the halls of Cafe Digital publishing studios. Please don’t step on any elves, and pass the gravy!

1. BKV DOES EXIST, ACTUALLY REALLY NICE GUY…
Got to meet and hear superstar comic writer Brian K. Vaughan (Runaways, Y: The Last Man, Pride of Baghdad, Ex Machina) speak at an author visit in Dearborn Michigan this weekend. The event was masterminded and sponsored by Dan and Katie Merritt, the nice owners of Green Brain Comics, just voted the “Best Comic Book Selection” by the Detroit Metro Times!
It was great to hear Brian talk about writing “Pride of Baghdad”, his past comic work he’d like to forget, and his attempts to screw up “Runaways” as much as possible before handing it off to writer Joss Whedon! (Don’t worry kids, he said he’s seen Whedon’s first “Runaways” script and it kicks much butt)
And to top it all off, I got to go out and have dinner with Brian, Dan and Katie, and Mr. Vaughan, classy dude that he is, picked up the check for dinner! What a guy! Needless to say, a stray copy of MOPED ARMY made it into his hands for a long plane ride home. Hopefully it will at least aid in him falling asleep on the plane.
2. NEXT SIZER CONVENTION STOP: MID OHIO CON 2006
After stuffing one’s self with turkey, there’s only one way to work that off: go to a comic convention! My annual final con of the year is back again, as the MID OHIO CON 2006 debuts in it’s swanky new location in downtown Columbus! I’ll be there with tons of LITTLE WHITE MOUSE, MOPED ARMY and anything else needed for those perfect stocking stuffers for the comic fan in your life!

3. DID SOMEONE SAY “GIFT SUGGESTIONS”?…
Speaking of perfect gifts for those hard-to-buy-for comic junkies on your lists, here’s some Sizer related links for getting your hands on some cool books:
SPECIAL LITTLE WHITE MOUSE TRADE DIGEST $5 OFFER
With returned copies of the first LITTLE WHITE MOUSE trade collection (the manga digest size version) now in the possession of CAFE DIGITAL STUDIOS, I’m keen to get them out of our storehouse and into YOUR hands, and all for a measly $5.00 (plus shipping) each (originally $12.95). This is a great (and inexpensive) way to introduce yourself or others to the world of LITTLE WHITE MOUSE. Thinking of trying the book, but low on cash? Friends looking for new comics to discover? Comics fans on holiday or birthday lists? In need of great giveaways/prizes for your school or library’s next contest? The answer to all these queries: A LITTLE WHITE MOUSE DIGEST FOR $5.00! This offer will be in place until stock is depleted (which will be quite a while as it looks…)
It’s a win/win situation for both parties, so if you’re interested, please check out my online store for more ordering information:

MOPED ARMY GRAPHIC NOVEL
Enough about this beast, save to say it’s on the nomination lists from the American Library Association for “Great Graphic Novels for Teens” and “Best Books for Young Adults” for 2007 (announced in January), so beat the rush before thousands of librarians around the country make a mad dash for it!
