The delayed (last installment was in #1125) wrapping of my Space Cases journal (Space Cases being the series pilot created by Bill Mumy and me for Nickelodeon.)
My Life in a Box
My parents sent me this box of old stuff of mine that’s been sitting in their basement for God only knows how long. It’s my life and interests for the first eighteen years of my existence in microcosm. Some of it is truly amusing considering where my life’s gone. A copy of “MIrror Friend, Mirror Foe” by George Takei, whose wedding I attended. An issue of an old SF magazine called “If” with a cover by a pre-Elfquest Wendy (credited as “Wendi”) Pini, who drew the tattoo on my left arm. And–get this–an original 1969 New York Mets Yearbook.

Gene Colan
Gene was a wonderfully talented artist with whom I had the distinct honor to work with on several occasions. He will be missed terribly.

We’re cracking open the letter vault here at But I Digress; let’s see what we’ve got:
(Letters may be edited for length, but no meanings will be changed or distorted, such as: “Peter, The Incredible Hulk is the best example of lousy comics” becoming “Peter, The Incredible Hulk is the best example of… comics”.)
How Much Would You Pay?
UPDATED on 6/22–I should mention that if you have your own blogs, feel free to link to this discussion so we can not only get as many opinions as possible, but also get this project in front of as many eyes as possible. Price is important, but ultimately endeavors such as this stand or fall on word of mouth. I’ve got over 100K words; now we need the mouths.
In several weeks, on July 8, Crazy 8 Press will be going live, and I’m looking for your input on pricing.
