Url me a place to get every book you wrote not affiliated with a tv series? Your books are hard to find in one place.
Well no chain store in toronto had Fall of Knight I had to order it off the chain’s website.
It’s funny i went into the biggest bookstore. they had paperback editions of the first 2 books in the series and said why are you not carrying the third? the woman working the SF/fantasy section was nice and explained that the guy doing the ordering isn’t that bright. She knew you were up here recently for Ad astra and was suprised she didn’t have any of the new book.
The bit that killed me though, as i wandered into the Horror section Saw on one of the endcaps a big display of al your Star Trek novels.
I’m not sure what the chain is actually called, Indigo Chapters or both, but you should look into it. I don’t know if you can do anything but considering it’s the ONLY major chain of bookstores in Canada, and not a single store in Toronto has a copy on their shelves. If someone hadn’t mentioned in one of your other threads I’d probably only now have found out it was availabe
Any idea where an Aussie (in Sydney, to be precise), might be able to track down a copy of ‘Writing For Comics’? Is it being published down under? It sounds jsut like what I need at the moment.
When it comes to Chapters its usually easier/better service when its done online. I ordered mine like that and got my book nearly a month ago, or close to it.
Oh, great. Good to know. I was wondering when the new Arthur book was coming out. I’ll have to check out the bookstore over the weekend.
The scriptwriting book will have to wait for another week, I think, but I’m really looking forward to reading that, too.
I bought copies of each on Wednesday.
I was hoping the writing book would be a hardcover, but I guess one can’t have everything…

Both Chapters and Indigo chains are owned by the same husband/wife couple and the major book distributor (Pegasus) which supplies both is majorly owned by … you guessed it. Just two of the reasons I refuse to do business with them. This kind of monopoly Canada doesn’t need (yes, there are a couple of lesser chains, but I found out they also have major fingers in those, too. You have to work at it to get asway from them). Especially when Heather Reisman (one of the aforementioned co-owners) has been known to forbid her stores to carry books on the basis she didn’t like them. Excuse me? And the customers? They don’t have a say? Apparently not.
Yes, I have the Writing book coming next week, preordered it a couple of months ago. Can’t wait.
Going to take my son over to the bookstore today after his doctor’s appointment, y’know, so he can pick a book out.
Yeah. That’s the reason. Sure.
I got my copy of writing for Comics With Peter David ’round the beginning of the week (thank you, Amazon), and I enjoyed the hëll out of it. I’ll have to look for Fall of Knight (and I was even in a bookstore last night. If only I’d have known…)
Peter will be more Babylon 5 books written by you on the horizon? The Legions Of Fire Trilogy was excellent. Greetings from Portugal
I picked up Writing Comics at my comic shop today. I have to wait for paperback for Fall of Knight.
Woop! Gonna have to hunt down Fall of Knight tomorrow before I finally go see X3.
I just finished \i{Writing for Comics} this evening, Peter. Interesting take on the subject, especially after reading Denny O’Neal’s take on it in DC’s book on it.
The other two books are next on my stack.
Writing Comics With Peter David. That’s a title to which an aspiring writer like me just can’t say “no.” So why fight it? I’ll just add the bookstore to my list of errands today.
Picked up ‘Writing for Comics with Peter David’ at Barnes and Noble last night. Great read, my friend, great. I have a little pad of sticky notes to jot ideas down with that just started flying as I was reading.
I am enjoying how personal the book is, as if you were sitting next to me talking (thats how it sounds in my head).
I, too, just picked up Writing for Comics by Peter David at Barnes & Noble. Did it this morning while getting my Dad another book as a Father’s Day gift. (I’ll be delivering said gift to him in person later today.)
I’ve only had a chance to skim through it a bit, but it looks ášš-kickingly phenomenal. I know that every writer has to find his or her own way, and I shouldn’t, y’know, do something just ’cause that’s what Peter David does. But this book looks like it will help me provoke my own thinking. What more could a person ask for?
I’ve already placed an order at Amazon for “Writing Comics…” Incidentally, I also ordered your third Hulk Visionaries volume. Also happy to hear that DC is collecting Sachs and Violens and going back to press on Fallen Angel. Now, what would it take to collect into trades your run on Spider-Man 2099, Supergirl, and Aquaman?
Paul Di Fillipo at Science Fiction Weekly book reviews gives Fall of Knight an A…

“One suspects that this is a novel and series of which T.H. White himself would have approved.”
“Of course Peter David is perhaps even better known as a writer of comics than of novels. Anyone who enjoyed this series would certainly like his current Fallen Angel saga, again mixing urban life and mythic protectors. —Paul“
Uh, that’s Paul Di Filippo. Just thought I should spell the man’s name right.
I have it on hold at my comic shop. I’ll be picking it up soon! I’ve been looking forward to it since the initial preview in Impact University #1 from FCBD last year.
PAD,
I want to congratulate for correctly spelling Johns Hopkins in Fall of Knight. You’d be surprised how many people think it’s John Hopkins.
I just wanted to say thanks. I got Writing for Comics from Amazon this week. While I am primarily approaching the business as an aspiring artist, I am finding it helpful.
Thanks you for Writing for Comics. I have yet to find a more comprehensive comics writing book.
