Here’s some wonderful news to share. Jennifer Doody, a Correspondent at the Harvard Gazette, recently wrote a very excellent article all about when Neil Gaiman and Chip Kidd gave a lecture series at Harvard where they discussed their latest collaboration, the creation of the MAKE GOOD ART Speech Book.
While on stage they discussed other projects as well. Neil Gaiman spoke about his new novel, "The Ocean at the End of the Lane," his scripts for the BBC's "Doctor Who," and a six-part miniseries of his "Sandman" comic. Chip Kidd touched briefly on his next new book he working on titled, “GO: A Kidd’s Guide To Graphic Design”. Due in October 2013 and to be published by Workman Publishing.
Overall the event went really well and a good time was had by all. We want to thank Jennifer for her wonderful article and we also wish to ask our readers to please check it out by clicking HERE!

"The Hive is a tour-de-force of psychedelic storytelling, an astonishing piece of graphic literature that combines strange characters, even stranger situations and locales, and multi-leveled narratives in a way you have never seen before on the page. Burns' work is utterly unique, and he has no fear about experimenting and trying to engage the reader in new ways. Perhaps his greatest gift is finding a way to make you find empathy for people and things that you would normally find off-putting or disgusting. Burns is one of the few talents who stands above the medium, and deservedly so. Easily one of the finest works you'll see this year." -Comics Waiting Room
“Chris Ware’s Building Stories is the rarest kind of brilliance; it is simultaneously heartbreaking, hilarious, shockingly intimate and deeply insightful. There isn’t a graphic artist alive or dead who has used the form this wonderfully to convey the passage of time, loneliness, longing, frustration or bliss. It is the reader’s choice where and how to begin this monumental work-the only regret you will have in starting it is knowing that it will end.” -J.J. Abrams
