"U" is for United, The 2008 CGS Anthology is available for purchase in this month's DCBS Previews!

The book is 88 pages, black & white interior art, featuring 16 teriffic stories written and drawn by many CGS forum members. Katie Cook provided the incredible artwork for the cover, and Steve Bryant donated a pinup for the book as well. The book also includes a MIMES story, as well as a new creation from the guys who brought you Baby Boomers!

All proceeds from sales of the book will be given to the CGS crew, as a way of saying thanks for everything they've given us over the last few years.

Here's some sample art. First Katie's superb cover!

A page by artist Jack Redd, from a story written by Daniel from the forum

A page penciled by Rory Hensley, written and inked by our own Flint Lockjaw

And a page again written by Daniel, penciled by Ernest Caritativo and inked by Eber Ferreira

Very cool! I'm guessing it will be on Sept's order then since they haven't updated their site yet.

When I get home, I'll add some art samples here.

Great news, Chris.

At least we know the cover is going to be MUCH better than the last one.

Awesome!

DCBS has been with us since before the podcast even began. With that and their continued support of multiple podcasts, it only makes sense that they should distribute a CGS branded anthology. Very cool.

For the time being, yes. I'll likely add it to Indyplanet.com as well in the near future.

For those who don't do DCBS, I know I'd be willing to order some extra copies and then ship them on. It'd add on some extra time for the double shipping, and some extra $ for shipping as well, I guess, but I'm certainly willing to do it. I'm willing to be there are others who'd be willing to do the same.

And the first time buyer extra discount for CGS listeners *should* still be in effect so this could be the perfect chance to start your relationship with DCBS!

Huh. I'm suddenly and inexplicably feeling very self-conscious.

Oh Katie PLEASE tell me you made an actual Murdppet! I know you can!

And it pleases me to have some of my words in a book with your cover art- thank you for doing it!
