That Buzzing Sound at NYCC....

Yes, you can believe your eyeszzzz!! As announced today at the NYCC's Pulps Panel, Moonstone Books has obtained the rights to publish a series of Green Hornet and Kato prose anthologies illustrated and art directed by yours truly. To celebrate this newzzzzz, two posters are available - for free! at Moonstone's NYCC booth (2370), along with large and small buttons with that wonderful familiar hornet log. One poster is a classic film noir version, while the other takes a whimsical look at the Hornet.
