1st printing. Story and art by Henry Chamberlain. George Clayton Johnson was an up-and-coming short story writer who broke into Hollywood in a big way when he co-wrote the screenplay for OCEAN'S ELEVEN. More legendary works followed, including Logan's Run and classic scripts for shows like THE TWILIGHT ZONE and STAR TREK. Late in life, Johnson befriended comics journalist and artist Henry Chamberlain, and the two had long chats about his amazing life and career. Now Chamberlain pays tribute to his late friend in the graphic novel GEORGE'S RUN, which brings Johnson's creative milieu to life in vividly illustrated color panels. The result feels less like reading a conventional biography and more like sitting in on an intimate conversation between friends as they recollect key moments in pop culture history. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 224 pages, PC. Cover price $24.95.

By Jeffrey Somers.

Stop What You're Doing and Write! Yes, You; Write!

Most writing guides imply--or outright state--that there's a fixed, specific formula or list of rules you must follow to achieve writing and publishing success. And all of them are phonies. Well, not completely. There are real, applicable techniques and strategies in any writing reference to help you. But the idea that there's only one way of writing? Nuts!

With unconventional approaches to the craft, fresh angles on novel writing and selling, a healthy dose of humor, and no promise of refunds, Writing Without Rules is for those writers who have tried and tried again--and are ready to success on their own terms.

In these pages, accomplished author Jeff Somers will show you:

• The key to a successful writing career is doing the actual writing, no matter the circumstances.
• Fantastic ideas are available everywhere--you just need to know how to tap into sources through a variety of approaches.
• Important craft aspects that you should focus on, such as characters and dialogue, while spending less time on others, like setting.
• Effective ways to get published--whether it's traditional or self-publishing--and how to supplement your income.
• Whether you're a plotter, a pantser, or somewhere in-between, Writing Without Rules is for those writers who are looking for a fresh take on tackling the challenge of writing and selling a novel, and building a career. As Somers will show you, it's less about being perfect in everything, and more about having the confidence to complete everything.

Craft a Story That Towers Above the Rest

You know it when you read it: In page after page and scene after scene, a truly engrossing novel has qualities that set it apart. Authentic characters, a well-rounded plot, and immersive settings work in harmony to create a three-dimensional experience--one you can practically step inside and explore.

But while you can recognize this work when you read it, writing it can be much more challenging. Bring Your Fiction to Life teaches you how to build a solid narrative structure and layer in lush, textured scenes to create a story that rings true.

You'll learn how to:

o Master the three-dimensional aspects of characters, plots, and settings using detailed sketches that define the past, present, and future aspects of each element.
o Develop complex opening, resolution, and bridge scenes that expertly lead readers through your fictional world.
o Construct and analyze an outline for your manuscript, using tools and techniques to analyze scenes that lack dimensionality.
o Brainstorm, research, and draft efficiently and effectively, and juggle multiple projects with ease.
o Packed with story-development charts, worksheets, and checklists, Bring Your Fiction to Life shows you how to craft a vivid story world that readers will instantly recognize as remarkable.

1st printing. By Greg Carpenter. Moore. Gaiman. Morrison. They came from Northampton, West Sussex, and Glasgow, and even though they spoke with different dialects, they gave American comics a new voice, one loud and clear enough to speak to the postmodern world. Like a triple-helix strand of some advanced form of DNA, their careers have remained irrevocably intertwined. Taken individually, their professional histories provide an incomplete picture of the British Invasion, but together they redefined the concept of what it means to be a comic book writer. Collectively, their story becomes the story of mainstream comics in the modern era. It's the story you're about to read. Softcover, 6-in.x 9-in., 492 pages, Text Only. Cover price $19.99.
