There's nothing definite yet. Of course, any time you have a book, there's going to be book signings and stuff. We'll do bookstores that handle both audio and video. And some of the stores want to have the CDs available at the same time. So that part looks real good. Scotty Moore

To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films. Alan Moore
It's difficult to write a book where a character is on virtually every page of the book but you cannot refer to his or her gender. It gets rid of every his, her, she and he. William Least Heat-Moon
