Rick Lundeen, Harry Markos, and Chris Lynch talk about “The Dark”

Rick, Harry, and I have all been interviewed by the Hypergeek website about the forthcoming release of The Dark.

We all answered our questions seperately, and it is interesting to see the areas in which we see the book differently as well as the areas in which we agree!

A great chance to get a little “behind the scenes” peek at the workings of a trans-atlantic creative team and a trans-atlantic publisher.

And, of course, I give a few little clues away as to what the big mystery is in “The Dark” …

It was great to hear such positivity about the story, the ideas in The Dark, and the twisting plotlines. Barry has only had the first three chapters to read so far, and I’m really looking forward to hearing what he has to say when he reads the final chapter in the trade.

The Dark hits Previews

The Dark Graphic Novel CoverDiamond Comic Distributions “Previews” catalogue will hit stores this week, containing the first solicitation by AAM/Markosia for “The Dark“.

Our Diamond Order Code is JAN100699.

The advert in previews features the OGN Cover by Rick Lundeen and the following about the book:

(W) Chris Lynch (A) Rick Lundeen.

Imagine a story that you can drink, a story that you can feel, a story you can live. Welcome to the city of Dante, and the world of Memetech. As a wave of drugs that create living stories sweeps his city, one man fights back as ‘The Dark’. A vigilante who wields fiction as a weapon, he is the last hope for a city where nothing is what it seems. A stunning new sci-fi thriller.

Online retailers are already starting to the list The Dark for pre-order. Orders for The Dark will need to be in before the end of January 2010, so please make sure you let your local comic store know about the book and order your copy. As most people know, Diamond reserve the right to drop any book that does not meet their minimum order benchmark, so it is crucial that we get all the orders that we can.

Rick, the team at Markosia, and myself are all working hard on promoting the book, so expect to see a lot of press over the next few days and weeks.

Most importantly, of course, please order your copy of The Dark from your local comic shop today!
