It's Snow-ing In My World

My first Global Manga--Snow--is hitting bookstores in October! It was a true pleasure working with the book's creator, Morgan Luthi. The poor kid entered TOKYOPOP's Rising Stars of Manga a zillion times, and he was met with repeated rejection. But did Morgan put down his pencil and give up? No! He kept at it. He drew on the backs of shovels with coal, he walked uphill both ways in freezing rain, and he cut down a cherry tree and didn't lie about it. Every contest, he would submit a brand-new story. And at long last, his billionth entry, "Seed," was a runner-up in Rising Stars of Manga Volume 5.

Morgan's persistence really paid off. Not only did his artistic ability grow exponentially with each submission, but seeing that progress convinced me that Morgan was ready to write and illustrate his very own manga. And I am proud to say that manga is Snow.

The second I saw Morgan's concept sketches for Snow, I was hooked. His Warmonger designs were so clean and simple...yet they were visually spectacular. Take a look at the cover for Snow. See that? That's what I'm talkin' about. That's some arresting design, kids.

His other sketches flat-out made me laugh. Wait until you see his space pirates and bounty hunters! They are quirky, unusual, and have that inventive Morgan Luthi style!

Snow's story is deceptively simple, but I'm certain it will pay off in ways you might not expect. It's full of little touches that will hopefully resonate in big ways. So, what's Snow about, you ask?

Love! Destruction! Space pirates! Deep dark secrets! Redemption! And really, really big robots!

And do you really need anything more than that? I trust that you'll all buy your very own copy in October!

And thanks to me, all the apostrophes go the right way!! :D (Agh, Paul, I seriously had to wait 2 weeks for you to approve my friend request until I could comment with this!! Cause TP now has it set up that new accounts automatically have the 'only-friends-can-comment' setting turned on... you should maybe turn that off, if you want, to let non-friends comment!)
