COMICOSMICS! Coming Soon!!!

 .



Set your alarm clocks! Marianne has announced the sell-date for Dragonstairs Press' latest chapbook. As usual, it will sell out in a matter of minutes. I'm not exaggerating here. As Will Sonnet used to say, "No brag, just fact."


Here's the announcement letter as Marianne sent it out:


Saturday the 20th of April, noon, EDT, Dragonstairs Press will be launching Comicosmics at dragonstairs.com.



Comicosmics
 is Michael Swanwick's homage to Italo Calvino, cleverly inverted from the original.  Henry Wessells said of it, "[this] book is an entire intergalactic philosophical novel within the compass of near infinity, and six printed pages. It is one of the several things that Michael Swanwick does best."



Comicosmics 
was launched at the 2024 International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts in Orlando, Florida.  It was issued in an edition of 50, of which 47 were available for sale.  35 remain.  The chapbook is 8 ½” by 5 ½” and is hand-stitched and bound in black lokta paper, silk-screened with metallic images.  All are numbered and signed by the author.
